#  如果不转义括号的话...

echo "Length of \"$a\" is `expr "$a" : '.*'`."   # 字符串长度

echo "Number of digits at the beginning of \"$a\" is `expr "$a" : '[0-9]*'`."

echo "The digits at the beginning of \"$a\" are `expr "$a" : '\([0-9]*\)'`."
#                                                             ==      ==
echo "The first 7 characters of \"$a\" are `expr "$a" : '\(.......\)'`."
#         =====                                          ==       ==
# 再来一个, 转义括号对强制一个子串匹配.
#
echo "The last 7 characters of \"$a\" are `expr "$a" : '.*\(.......\)'`."
#         ====                  字符串操作的结尾		^^
#  (最后这个模式的意思是忽略前边的任何字符,直到最后7个字符,
#+  最后7个点就是需要匹配的任意7个字符的字串)
