Does anyone know how the Unix
find
search -name queries with _?
in leftmost column relate to Kleene Star as defined on Wikipedia ? How can I accomplish the rows with _?
using find
?
. : empty string, X : cartesian product
-name \A\B Language A X B
-name \ABC Language A X B X C
-name : name at leafs, builds set of string in language
-name \. V^0 {e, ""} language only of the empty string A with only one leg?
-name \? V^1 V language of single characters
-name \???... V^n language of n character strings, concatenates strings in language
-name \* V^* langauge of \cup_{i\gte0} V^i
a? -name \n V^n like \{n\} in grep with integer?
b? -name \*n (V^*)^n language of n words, word can be empty
-name \*\??... (V^*)^n
-name \?\* V^+ langauge of \cup_{i\gte1} V^i
-name \?\*\??... (V^+)^n language of n words, word must have character
It appears that .
is a graph A
with only one leg defined with length. grep
uses \{n\}
for a?
, however I can't seem to find the equivalent with find
.
