  1. Practica tu reguexperimentación con Quodrle[1] y grep|egrep 😅

    Mi último regexp del ejercicio:

    ```
    $ grep '^b....$' /usr/share/dict/words | grep r | grep '^b..[^r].$' | egrep -v 'h|e|l|o|a|s|u|g|u|l|y|f|z|t'
    brick
    brink
    ```

    #grep #egrep #unix #linux

  2. W jednym z pokoi matriksowych, które lurkuję padło pytanie, jak policzyć w LibreOffice słowa, ale z pominięciem jednoliterowych.

    Temat wydał mi się ciekawy, więc trochę poszukałem i skleiłem znalezione dwa myki: sposób na konwersję .odt do .txt z egrepowaniem słów o odpowiedniej minimalnej długości. Może się komuś przyda:

    libreoffice --headless --convert-to txt:Text test.odt &> /dev/null && < test.txt egrep -wo '[[:alnum:]]{2,}' test.txt | wc -w && rm test.txt

    #LibreOffice #egrep #IlośćSłów #odt #txt #jednolinijkowiec

  3. Does anybody have experience with zipgrep? I'm trying to run a regex with alternation but for some reason it's not working. I run:

    zipgrep -E "(wordA|wordB)" file.zip

    on a zip file which I know it contains bot words within its files, but it returns nothing, if I uncompress the file and run egrep, it works fine 🤯

    Edit: fixed the command again bc apparently I can't type

    #grep #egrep #help #askFedi #linux

    This is a perennial stupidity in the C and C++ worlds.

    Because the C and C++ standards leave some things up to _other_ standards, including (ironically) #POSIX, the idea that one shouldn't talk about them in the comp.std.c and comp.std.c++ newsgroups mutated into a stupid dogma that C and C++ programs shouldn't rely upon anything from these other standards.

    #fgrep and #egrep are in the SVID. (-:

    #GNU #grep #Unix

    That's the thing. The GNU egrep and fgrep _already are_ shell scripts. Paul Eggert added this change _to those shell scripts_.

    debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.

    #GNU #grep #egrep #fgrep

    You're a bit late. Debian had a bug about this, and patched the warnings out, back in 2022.

    bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep

    The Debian bug log also points to the two GNU project bug reports, where Paul Eggert et al. argued against undoing the new behaviour.
