Fri 17 May 2024 08:19:35 AM UTC, comment #1: The default is indeed emacs: $ find h* -regextype posix-basic -regex '^hello.w.' -print -quit hello?world $ find h -regextype emacs -regex '^hello.w.' -print -quit $ find h -regex '^hello.w.' -print -quit $ ls hello 'hello'$'\n''world' The default is set in set_option_defaults: p->regex_options = RE_SYNTAX_EMACS;	James Youngman <jay>
Mon 12 Feb 2024 07:40:12 PM UTC, original submission: "There are several varieties of regular expressions; by default this test uses POSIX basic regular expressions, but this can be changed with the option ‘-regextype’. " https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/doc/find.texi#n581 The above is incompatible with ‘emacs’ Regular expressions compatible with GNU Emacs; this is also the default behaviour if this option is not used. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/doc/find.texi#n597 which one is correct, I do not know :)	Anonymous
