[find] using -regextype
I don’t know about you.
But for me it’s a pain to escape special chars like that :
[survietamine@desktop omsa-live]$ find -iregex '.*\(contact\|dset\).*'
./DSET_Report_for_Centrapel[localhost.localdomain-SvcTag-16H3F4J-PER710].zip
./data/tmpreport/dsetinfo.xml
./data/xml/oma/docs/dset.css
./data/linux/dsetmemory
./data/linux/dsetboot
./data/linux/xml/dsetboot.xml
./data/linux/xml/dsetmemory.xml
./data/linux/xml/dsetnetwork.xml
./data/linux/xml/dsetmodules.xml
./data/linux/xml/dsetstorage.xml
./data/linux/dsetnetwork
./data/linux/dsetstorage
./data/linux/dsetmodules
./data/dell/DSET
./data/dell/DSET/dsetinfo.log
./data/dell/DSET/omsaliteinstall.log
./data/dell/DSET/omsaload.log
./data/dell/DSET/CDDVDDeviceEnumerator.log
./data/dell/DSET/IdeDevDiagEnumeration.log
./data/dell/DSET/SysReader.log

./gui/contactinfo.htm
./gui/dset.css
./gui/images/productname-dset.gif
./gui/dsetreport.hta
./dsetreport.hta
So, I think it’s better to set an aliases that add ‘-regextype posix-extended’ (or whatever extended regexp you prefer), to be able to write like this :
[survietamine@desktop omsa-live]$ find -regextype posix-extended -iregex '.*(contact|dset).*'
