Re: Bug in NetBSD grep ?

[Michael Cheponis <michael.cheponis%gmail.com@localhost>]

On arm64 / RPi 4 9.99.96  this gives "00:00:" as expected.

I know this is quite ancient  (April '22 version of -current).

Hi,

The following command-line:

echo 00:00: | grep -E '^([0]{2}[:-]){2}$'

doesn't print anything on NetBSD (9.3) but it prints 00:00: back
(as it should, unless I made a mistake in my regular _expression_):
- on NetBSD with GNU grep from pkgsrc
- on FreeBSD with their standard grep (which claims to be
  GNU-compatible)
- on Linux (with GNU grep)

Is there a problem with the grep command shipped with NetBSD?
