Hi,
I have noted that there is one error in the egrep manual. Under the section of
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS, it first says
"A list of characters enclosed by [ and ] matches any single character in that
list; if the first character of the list is the caret ^ then it matches any
character not in the list. "
and then goes on to say that
"The caret ^ and the dollar sign $ are metacharacters that respectively match
the empty string at the beginning and end of a line."
My knowledge tells me that the first statement has an error, and the second
one is correct.
Thanx and regards,
Atul Saroop.
