| Section | 9.3.8 BRE Expression Anchoring | ||||

| Summary | 0000976: improper use of "line" to describe the ^ and $ operators | ||||
| Description | The spec says: "A BRE can be limited to matching strings that begin or end a line" While its true when the RE is matched against the content of a line (minus the trailing newline character) like in the case of grep, and while the rest of that section is careful to use "string" instead of "line", the usage of "line" here is misleading and can suggest ^ or $ could match after (resp before) a newline character. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change to: "A BRE can be limited to only match at the beginning or end of a string" | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
In addition to the change noted in the Desired Action, make the same change in the description of ERE anchoring in subclause 9.4.9 on P191, L 6221. |

Reopening because this duplicates 0000595 but solves it with different wording. We need to decide which wording we prefer. |
