Hi,

It seems that bash only accept POSIX regex as stated in regex(3). Is
there a way to allow perl regex in bash. In particular, I want to use
(?:...) as defined in perl.

Just say what you want to do and we'll tell you how to do it best in bash.
There is very little that you can't do in bash, and worst case sed/awk.

depending on what you want to do you could even use perl in bash.
