Whe i put this script in etch, it works, but in lenny don't work, the
condition is true, but any lines are output. ¿i don't know what's the
problem?


if [[ foobarbletch =~ 'foo(bar)bl(.*)' ]]
then

echo The regex matches!
echo $BASH_REMATCH -- outputs: foobarbletch

echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} -- outputs: bar
echo ${BASH_REMATCH[2]} -- outputs: etch

fi

You should activate compat31 option ...

shopt -s compat31

quoting bash manual:
compat31
If set, bash changes its behavior to that of

mand's =~ operator.
