Hi All,
My current version of bash on cygwin failed to match this pattern:
*******************************
target=ar
if [[ "$target" =~ '^a' ]]; then
echo Matched
else
echo Unmatched
fi
*******************************
$bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(21)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
The older version of bash can match the same pattern before I upgrade cygwin.
What is the possible reason?
