Be careful, `+` is [ERE syntax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#POSIX_basic_and_extended). However, when invoked without the `-E` flag, `sed` will use BRE, which doesn't know `+`. There, you would need to use explicit range indicators as in `\{1,\}` (and here, the `\` would actually ... (more) |

Plus, performing smaller updates on a regular basis is less likely to break the installation, as opposed to one large update. (more) |

A: Can I enter raw strings in fish to avoid escaping regexes for sed? It is not the most elegant solution, but you may be able to use the `string escape` function of `fish`, as in: ```lang-shell echo abc | sed -E (string escape 's/b+/X/') ``` This would still escape the special characters, but in a "hidden" way - the user-visible RegEx is not cluttered with backsla...

As for adding a tag description: [this help page](https://linux.codidact.com/abilities/edit_tags) explains that to earn this ability you need a minimum of 76 approved edit suggestions. If I read your user profile correctly, you only have 11 edits so far, so this is likely the reason you can't (yet). (more) |

The Wikipedia page on Filenames has a nice [comparison table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename#Comparison_of_filename_limitations) on which characters are allowed on various file systems. (more) |

A: How to get number of files in directory A solution I often use (and which is ultimately a variation of the `find`-based approach in the answer by Canina) also uses `find`, but only prints a single `.` per file: ```lang-bash find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '.' | wc -m ``` It then uses the `-m` flag of `wc` to print the number of char...

You may want to add a warning that parsing the output of `find` is strongly discouraged, because it will stumble on filenames with non-standard characters, which can actually include the new-line (although the most common pitfall in these scenarios is the space character). The `parallel` approach usi... (more) |
