Bash regular expressions

- Subject: Bash regular expressions
It seems that regular expressions [[ str =~ regex ]] do not work in bash.
For example the following expression doesn't match:
[[ abc =~ 'a.*c' ]] && echo It works
while the simple substring matches:
[[ abc =~ 'bc' ]] && echo It works
Is it a bug ?
Thanks,
Boris
