grep [7a] somefile finds all lines containing an a or a 7. Quoting: "[7a]" gives the same. a's and 7's.

I want to find [7a]

grep \]7a\]

*bzzzt* You'd need to use grep \\\[7a\\\] without quotes. Compare with e.g.: $ printf 'a\nb [7a] c\nd 7\n' | grep \[7a\] -dnh --

Hi, there is even a straighter way to get a particular share configuration from smb.conf testparm --section-name 7a You might also combine this with --parameter-name Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

you might need to combine it with -s too.

Lars, whilst we are here, do we have any plans to include Samba4 into 12.2?

12.2 will not get it. 12.2 will get 3.6.6. Samba 4.0.0 is at a beta stage at the moment. Therefore we're trying to build it as part of the network:samba:TESTING project as we do since ages.

It's an amazing achievement and one which is well suited to openSUSE. Ubuntu already have the beta2 packaged. Lets show them how to do it properly.

We're happy to see submit requests to network:samba:TESTING. Till now we unfortunately haven't seen a lot. Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

How do I submit a request to 'network:samba:TESTING'?

See http://en.openSUSE.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration about how the Build Service Collaboration is expected to work.

We have a test LAN and do nightly git builds. The only problem we see for end users is the provisioning. Maybe Yast>Samba server could handle it?

Yes. Here bugzilla is the tool to track such issues. Be this nice and report the ID back to this list. Preferred as clickable link. Thanks, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

grep '\[7a\]' file

Sorry guys. I may have got the \'s after an hour or so but the single quotes would have, ahem, escaped me.

Anyway, you have saved me countless hours of the FM.

There are a few simple rules in shell-programming, first and IMO by far the most important: * quote! With '' unless you _need_ to have something to expand inside, with "" in other cases. If in doubt, mix quoting: prog 'foo'"$bar"'baz' * use 'set -x' to see _how_ a program is actually called. Case in point: $ set -x $ grep [7a] /dev/null + grep '[7a]' /dev/null $ grep \[7a\] /dev/null + grep '[7a]' /dev/null ==== Excursion! ==== BTW: above is only because there's no matching files in the current directory. $ touch a 7 + touch a 7 $ grep [7a] /dev/null + grep 7 a /dev/null ### this is NOT what you want, eh? ### grep for '7' in files 'a' and /dev/null. $ grep \[7a\] /dev/null + grep '[7a]' /dev/null ### this is ;) But quoting is easier ### and more robust. $ rm a 7 Understand this "excursion"! It's quite important to understand in respect to why quoting is so important. ==== $ grep '[7a]' /dev/null + grep '[7a]' /dev/null $ grep '\[7a\]' /dev/null + grep '\[7a\]' /dev/null $ grep \\\[7a\\\] /dev/null + grep '\[7a\]' /dev/null $ Now, once you've figured that out, how the shell calls grep, you'll need to look at 'man 7 regex' to find out what you need to use for grep to do what you want ;) The cases where you can't quote at all are _very_ rare and far between and use those only when you know exactly what and _why_ you're doing. Read up on "special characters" in the shell though. And for grep, you _will_ need to know the regexp special characters, man 7 regex is a bit harsh an entry, but there's plenty of "nice" regex introductions on the web (I'd guess the Wikipedia links to at least one ;). Also, try digging through this lists archive, articles by me containing a keyword like "quote", "quoting", "regex", "bash", often also answering "Carlos" should yield some results. See http://lists.opensuse.org or use google with "site:lists.opensuse.org" for a different search engine. Feel free to ask more, but preferably you should do that on opensuse-programming.
