Interesting - I'll try it. FWIW, your "echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep
'xyz*zoo'" does nothing from my (bash) command line. No complaints; but
no response.
As I said before, it is easy to play with ... (assuming that you
can edit the command line by the arrow-keys) and you must play if
you want to learn.
echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep 'xyz*zoo'
echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep 'xyz.zoo'
echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep 'xyz.*zoo'
echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep 'xyz\.zoo'
echo "TO xyz.zoo" | egrep 'xyz\*zoo'
Now, play with left side:
echo "TO xyz....zoo" | egrep 'xyz*zoo'
echo "TO xyzzoo" | egrep 'xyz*zoo'
echo ...
What answers did you get? (:-)
Did you lean something new?
