Listmates:
With regular expressions, what is the difference between \< and \b ? The man page says:
"The symbols \< and \> respectively match the empty string at the beginning and end of a word. The symbol \b matches the empty string at the edge of a word..."
What is the difference between being at the "beginning or end" of a word or at the "edge" of a word? Presuming that "The (word) symbol \w is a synonym for [[:alnum:]]"
The concept eludes me.....
