Just for the record: I believe that \{1,\} might be portable.
Yeah, I obviously looked at the page I quoted that describes
what's in and what's not in BRE definition ;-)
But in practice, I do not recall ever seeing an older sed that
did not understand one-or-more \+ *and* understood \{1,\}. Do
you?
Yes, BSD sed (at least DragonFly's, so probably as well FreeBSD-4 (dunno
about later)):
chlamydia % echo 5ab123x | sed -e 's/[a-z]\+/AAA/'
5ab123x
chlamydia % echo 5ab123x | sed -e 's/[a-z]\{1,\}/AAA/'
5AAA123x
chlamydia % echo 5ab123x | sed -E -e 's/[a-z]+/AAA/'
5AAA123x
