Hi. I think I found a bug in expr (and I haven't checked your bug
tracker and therefore apologize in advance if it's already been
reported/fixed). The bug: in expr, the product function appears to be
broken. Example:
/>expr 5 * 2
expr: syntax error
...the problem only occurs with product. Sum, difference, quotient all
work as expected, as shown here:
/>expr 4 + 2
6
/>expr 4 - 2
2
/>expr 4 / 2
2
The bug is for expr version 5.2.1, running on a GNU/Linux system, and
the man page directed the bug reports to you.
Thank you,
