From: Brett S Hallett Date: 2003-10-17T09:02:57+09:00 Subject: regexp problem I'm trying to detect the string "0,0,0" ( that's numeric comma numeric comma numeric) which is a value returned by cdrecord -scanbus for detecting CD-ROM drives attached to a Linux system. I have tried numerous regexp expressions but cannot get that string to be detected. eg : "[0-9]\.[0-9]\,[0-9]" I assume that the comma is causing the trouble but even using \ escape ( \,) does not solve the problem. Help please, thanks
