[gentoo-user] [OT] confusing RE doesn't work in diff

[Zhang Weiwu]

My RE must be wrong but I can hardly successfully match a whole line
like the below example:

This works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ egrep "\b*\/[*].*[*]\/\b*" Calendar.php
        /* $Id: class.boalarm.inc.php,v 1.1.1.1 2005/03/18 09:17:36
dawnlinux Exp $ */
        /* $Id: class.boalarm.inc.php,v 1.11 2004/05/23 14:51:27
ralfbecker Exp $ */

This doesn't work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ egrep "^\b*\/[*].*[*]\/\b*$" Calendar.php

any hint?
