Regex in find command

[Johnny Rosenberg]

I tried all the different regextypes mentioned in the man pages, but no
success:

emacs (default)
posix-basic
posix-awk
posix-egrep
posix-extended

Neither of them understod this:
find $Path … -some_options -type d -regex ".*[0-9]{4,5}"

This worked well with several regex types:
find $Path … -some_options -type d -regex ".*[0-9]{4}"

And of course, this worked well in all cases:
find $Path … -some_options -type d -regex ".*[0-9]+"

Is the {x,y} syntax not supported in find?


Kind regards
