Hi
I have created a regex for the below smb URLs

smb://ab-03.nea.nl/RegSec/Arch2005/Wrapport/
regex:^smb://ab-03.nea.nl/RegSec/Arch200[0-9]+/W[a-z]+/$
is there a way to check whether my regex is valid and I am sure i am
missing
something. Please correct me if my regex is wrong.
"." matches any character and must be escaped; "\."
which may need to be escaped further depending how
it's being passed (for example shell expansions and
C \ escapes). Note that this will successfully match
a string which contains any of your examples on its
own line (simply matching will still pass even if
there is content separated from your string by a
line break). + means 1 or more; is this what you wanted
with "200[0-9]+"? "2[0-9]{3}" makes more sense
(depending on how future proof you want it).
grep will not understand "+" or {3} unless run with
the -E argument.
O.T.: I notice the list "Ubuntu user technical support,
not for general discussions" is probably not
appropriate.
