I just installed the new Internet Explorer 8 the other day, and I've noticed some graphical glitches on this site while using it. The biggest glitch is with the user statistics page, in which there is a large black space on the right side of the "Users by Country" section. Turning on IE8's compability view fixes this, but also causes the numbers in that section to appear off-center. The other glitch is when you scroll up to where a smilie is, which sometimes results in the smilie appearing distorted. This happens regardless of whether or not compability view is on. The images in the attached file demonstrate these glitches.

I'm pretty sure that's an IE8 rendering error and nothing that this site could somehow fix...

np: SCSI-9 - The Rime (Easy As Down)

Well, I was going to complain about my lack of mod points, but now I'm going to wonder what regex engine that is. I've never seen used ! used as a metacharacter in that sense. I also don't believe that (^bla$)* works, though it may be different in your engine.

Just now I realized that there is no ! metacharacter in most regex engines that I know of. How do you NOT an expression other than by telling the engine to do it? Also,

^ can then match at the start of the string, as well as after each line break. Likewise, $ will still match at the end of the string, and also before every line break.

So if you pass it a string which has more than one line, it should match adjacent lines which contain anything non-IE.

Usually:

^ is only not when put as the first character in a [].

$ will match the end-of-line so you can't match multiple lines in one go (but you can apply the regexp to every line). One way round this is to override the IFS on some Linux systems.

This is usually not a feature, as the mechanics of a regular expression don't work in such a way as to allow for negation - each character occupies some part of the regex; a negation would confuse this. Engines like Perl capable of lookaheads/lookbehinds usually allow negation of those, and if you want to negate a whole expression, generally what you'd do is simply write a regex to match it, and then simply check for a failure to match.

Okay, to do things properly this time:

egrep -v '^IE([0-9]+)?$' < Input > Output

That looks better
