A quick regex question

1998-02-24 11:04:27

Sorry if this is a dumb question...

The FAQ says:

  The manual says the regexp engine is egrep compatible 
    'Tain't so. This statement is probably a holdover from older times when
    basically it was, or tried to be. 

I've boiled it down to this:  q{4,}   does not seem to work for me...

What this should match is four or more of the letter q in a row.  It can be
used in a recipe like this:

:0:
* q{4,}
my-folder

Is this not supported?  Is there a good work-around?

TIA
