No, the files did not changed between executions. The expected ...

Hello!

I'm looking for a regex that finds all words in a list that do not have characters next to each other that are the same. (this is an exercise) So abcdef is printed, but aabcdef is not. I tried both egrep "^((.)[^\1])*$" and egrep "^((.)[^\2])*$" words but, other than being not sure which one would be right, they don't work. I k...
Can someone explain why this code doesn't work as expected? I would expect it only to match the first character, and it does with literal characters, but the wildcard (.) and characters classes behave strangely: I use -o just to demonstrate exactly how things are matching, it doesn't change what matches at all. $ echo foo | grep -o '^....
