## In POSIX sh, =~ regex matching is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
[ "$var" =~ .*foo[0-9]* ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
expr "$var" : ".*foo[0-9]*" > /dev/null
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
You are using `=~` in a script declared to be compatible with POSIX sh or Dash.
|
||||
|
||||
`=~` is not a POSIX operator and is unlikely to outside `[[ ]]` in Bash and Ksh.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `expr`'s `:` operator instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
None
