More regex...

["Ben Beuchler" <insyte@emt-p.org>]

Seeing the earlier post on regular expressions reminded me:

First of all, can anyone point me towards a good regular expression
tutorial?

And...  When I use 'locate' I would like to be able to point it to just the
exact match for a file name.
Ex:

locate traceroute

returns:

/usr/doc/kde/HTML/en/knu/knu-traceroute.gif
/usr/man/man8/traceroute.8
/usr/sbin/traceroute
/home/insyte/.kpackage/traceroute-1.4a5-16.i386.rpm

when all I really wanted was /usr/sbin/traceroute.

It's not so bad in this case, but some other files will return two or three
screens of irrelevant information.  I assume this would be a fairly simple
expression, but I just can't track down a way to do it.

Gracias,
Ben
