Fun with REGEX: linux-source-2.6.28 "If You Seek Amy" edition · Sep 25, 04:00 AM
Studying for LPI certification this evening, and I had a fit of whimsy whilst playing with regular expressions. Random thoughts passing through my head resulted in the following combination of “memes”:
- Swear words in the linux kernel source code.
- Britney Spears’ song, “If You Seek Amy.”
So I downloaded the source code (linux-source-2.6.28, Ubuntu), unzipped it and ran the following grep command against it:
grep -ri "\<fuck me\>" *
Amazingly, despite the prevalence of the just the swear word itself (33 variations including fuck, fucked, fucking, fucker, etc in 2.6.28) in the kernel, there was only one hit:
fs/binfmt_aout.c: /* Fuck me plenty... */
So I guess a more apt title for this post is, “If you seek Amy Plenty.”
