From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I've aliased words to /usr/share/dict/linux.words. I then do the following two statements and count the number of lines which match: $ egrep "(.*[aeiou]){7}" words -c 318 $ egrep "([^aeiou]*[aeiou]){7}" words -c 0 Notice, there are 318 matches with the first and none with the second. Second, I run the same pair on my BSD box and get: $ egrep "(.*[aeiou]){7}" words -c 8357 $ egrep "([^aeiou]*[aeiou]){7}" words -c 8357 Can you please tell me which one is the correct result. Thanks, -Rajeev Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat 9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.1 2.1 3.1 Additional info:
