Hello,

Thanks for the software.

For your information, with the latest and also with earlier sbase:

Expected:

$ expr 00003 : '.*'
5
$ expr 00003 : '\(.*\)'
00003

$ expr 00003x : '\(.*\)'
00003x

Observed:

$ ./expr 00003 : '.*'
1
$ ./expr 00003 : '\(.*\)'
3

$ ./expr 00003x : '\(.*\)'
00003x

The leading zeros are lost if the argument looks like a number.

Regards, fomha4
