I'm trying to view the contents of a zip archive using an extremely simple regular expression. This works:



rmorton@Rockette:~$ unzip -l Downloads/WeiDU-Linux-236.zip "*/i386/tolower" "*/i386/weidu" "*/i386/weinstall"
Archive: Downloads/WeiDU-Linux-236.zip
Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----
135308 2013-11-17 21:48 WeiDU-Linux/bin/i386/tolower

130392 2013-11-17 21:48 WeiDU-Linux/bin/i386/weinstall
--------- -------
1040516 3 files


But this does not:



rmorton@Rockette:~$ unzip -l Downloads/WeiDU-Linux-236.zip "*/i386/(tolower|weidu|weinstall)"
Archive: Downloads/WeiDU-Linux-236.zip
Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----

0 0 files


What gives? Do I have a misunderstanding of how regular expressions work on the command line, or am I missing something obvious?

    I understand this must seem like a stupid question to someone with more experience. But what's the point of a site like this if I can't ask novice questions without being downvoted? I read man unzip several times and didn't realize it didn't support the full range of pattern symbols used by most command line utilities. Again, it was a novice mistake. But should it be downvoted?

Read the man page of unzip. It doesn't talk about regular expressions, just about the two special characters * and ?.

    These are often called wildcards or globbing characters (though the latter is more shell-related).
