| joobie | what conf files use regex? |
| action | Zathrus points at the one above, as a small example. |
| Zathrus | points at the one above, as a small example. |
| joobie | which apache doesnt use it mod_rewrite does name a conf file apart from apache u act like it's plastered all over the confs it's rare to see regex in a conf. |
| Evolution | you haven't seen my configs :-P |
| range | postfix uses regex tables for several tasks. squid uses regex stuff in the config. |
| joobie | for what Evo? |
| Evolution | apache, postfix, and nagios mostly |
| joobie | all of these uses of regex are not everyday configuration options |
| cron | Zathrus: thing is the */$ etc from regex is not understood as normal regex so I doubt it will patch like he wanted. I'm pretty sure he will need it inside of a grouping. |
| joobie | i mean how oftne do you modthe regex in squid or in postfix or apache |
| cron | s/patch/match joobie: your kidding right? |
| Zathrus | if your /etc/profile and similar don't have regex in them then I'd be fuckign stunned. |
| joobie | apache is probably the most used of them all - and that's not a daily task. |
| Zathrus | cron: no, he's clueless. |
| joobie | no |
| range | joobie: For you maybe. Not for me. Apache and Squid are daily work. |
| joobie | ive done some heavy regex but forgotten a lot of it.. |
| range | Same for postfix. And amavisd - which uses regex in the configuration. |
| joobie | purely because i don't use it that heavily. |
| Zathrus | cron: as for the regex, again, it depends on the regex syntax for what's "normal" -- in the case of mod_rewrite that's standard syntax spamassassin, etc. use regex as well I believe |
| joobie | so why are you generalizing, saying you're not a sysadmin if you don't know regex that well regardless of all that crud, that is my point.. it's a pretty stupid comment to make. |
| cron | Zathrus: Well it uses the $ to pass on the full http request so it cannot be used per a normal (atleast to my understanding) regex. I just group and match, oh well either way it will work for him ;) |
| noobienoob | how do i remove this? --> http://rafb.net/p/QRkSZS84.html |
| bitlogic | where can I search on www.centos.org all available packages? |
| Zathrus | "regardless of all the examples given that use regex heavily, you're wrong".... no, I'll stand by my comment. I would not hire a sysadmin that doesn't know the basics of regex. |
| joobie | rm -f index* |
| baconator | oh, is 1997 hiring a sysadmin? |
