Description Levente Farkas 2010-06-08 11:53:17 UTC

=~ no longer working in bash-4.1.2-2.el6. just try this little line:
if [[ "abc" =~ "abc.*" ]]; then echo inside; else echo outside; fi
this give "inside" on rhel-5, and up to fedora-12.
imho it's a serious error since all shell script are fail when use =~ :-(

I'm getting hit with this bug while porting my applications.

Also: "You are not authorized to access bug #558537."

Not funny. I'd like to read this documentation!
