Well, it was inevitable, I decided to start testing these regexes...
$ cat databook
0:04:01:10:wh00t
0:10:12:05:l33t-2003
0:01:01:01:666
0:04:15:11:324
0:04:15:12:k3wl
$ sed -n '/^[^:]*:[^:]*:[^:]*:11/p' databook
0:04:15:11:324
This one prints November's records, as it's supposed to...
$ sed -n '/^[^:]*:[^:]*:[^:]*:\(11\)\|\(12\)/p' databook
0:10:12:05:l33t-2003
0:04:15:11:324
0:04:15:12:k3wl
I'l figure out why this one produces wrong results later, if I can be bothered... (it probably picks up the 12 in the third column for some reason)
$ sed -n '/^[^:]*:[^:]*:[^:]*:1[12]/p' databook
0:04:15:11:324
0:04:15:12:k3wl
This one does exactly what it's supposed to do.
$ sed -n '/^(.*?
{3}1[12]/p' databook
And this one doesn't seem to do anything... however, a fixed version of it does:
$ sed -n '/^\(.*:\)\{3\}1[12]/p' databook
0:04:15:11:324
0:04:15:12:k3wl
As does a version that might be safer, or then not, I'm not really sure:
$ sed -n '/^\([^:]*:\)\{3\}1[12]/p' databook
0:04:15:11:324
0:04:15:12:k3wl
No, I for one have not understood sed's rules about what needs to be escaped and what not in regexes...This is Shireroth, and Giant Squid will brutally murder me if I ever remove this link from my signature | In the end it won't be love that saves us, it will be mathematics | So many people have this concept of God the Avenger.

I'm almost ashamed about the acts of l33tism I committed. I guess I've picked it up at the Gentoo forums where the user levels are in l33t, probably (hopefully) as a joke...This is Shireroth, and Giant Squid will brutally murder me if I ever remove this link from my signature | In the end it won't be love that saves us, it will be mathematics | So many people have this concept of God the Avenger.

^\([^:]*:\)\{3\}1[12] would be safer than ^\(.*:\)\{3\}1[12], but something can be said for using unsafe REs as an input debugging tool; does sed not know about non-greedy matching?
I think I'll stick to Perl. Oh, yes.
