My regexp works on one computer, but not on another

=Question by N.N.=

I have regular expression works on one computer (windows xp, epic 5.1F). but not on another computer (windows xp, epic 5.1F): car 0,?<.*>? -e

Could anybody give a suggestion?

This works for me:

car 0, "<.*>" -e -t

Use double quotes for expressions. As for the "-t", maybe the tagscan preference is different. Comparing the two preference files may provide some insight. Use get_preferences_path(1) to determine where Epic is writing the preferences.

And from help 9011: Five commands can modify the behavior of the find command:


 * set case
 * set expressions
 * set tagscan
 * set entityscan
 * set wrapscan
