Is the typo just that there are two yesexpr instead of a yesexpr and a noexpr?
I could successfully test it.
I'm attaching fr_HOME, which is a new locale I won't propose for
inclusion.
It gives an example with:
yesexpr "^([aA][lL][rR][eE][aA][dD][yY]|[cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT]|[yY][eE][sS])"
noexpr "^([nN][oO]|[iI][nN][cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT])"
and (commented):
yesexpr "^([oOyY]|nwi)"
noexpr "^(no|No)"
You just have to:
mkdir locales gen
put fr_HOME in locales, then
localedef -i locales/fr_HOME gen/fr_HOME
I'm attaching a test program (test.c, to be compiled with gcc -o test test.c)
Just execute:
LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
Here is an execution log:
$ LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
yesexpr: '^([aA][lL][rR][eE][aA][dD][yY]|[cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT]|[yY][eE][sS])'
noexpr: '^([nN][oO]|[iI][nN][cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT])'
Yes or no? n
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? y
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? ye
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? already
The answer was: yes
$ LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
yesexpr: '^([aA][lL][rR][eE][aA][dD][yY]|[cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT]|[yY][eE][sS])'
noexpr: '^([nN][oO]|[iI][nN][cC][oO][rR][rR][eE][cC][tT])'
Yes or no? i
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? in
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? iNcOrrect
The answer was: no
$ LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
yesexpr: '^([oOyY]|nwi)'
noexpr: '^(no|No)'
Yes or no? n
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? no
The answer was: no
$ LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
yesexpr: '^([oOyY]|nwi)'
noexpr: '^(no|No)'
Yes or no? n
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? nw
The answer did not match yesexpr or noexpr.
Yes or no? nwi
The answer was: yes
$ LOCPATH=gen/ LC_ALL=fr_HOME ./test
yesexpr: '^([oOyY]|nwi)'
noexpr: '^(no|No)'
Yes or no? Oui
The answer was: yes
So the experiment seems to show it works.
I'm just a little bit worried by the BUGS section of rpmatch(3), which states
that only the first character is used. (probably an old bug, which could
indicate that the above usage is not portable; maybe it's just a bug in the
manpage too).
Kind Regards,
