I came across a question that is not a duplicate, however it's been marked incorrectly as a duplicate.
The question is how to extract a substring in bash
There are specific differences. The linked item is about substrings based on delimeters, while the original question is purely substrings. This has resulted in very different answers and the accepted answer for the alleged duplicate question is valuable.
So how does one question the fact that it has been flagged as duplicate? I cannot comment on the question as the vote has completed. However it is apparent to someone familar with the technical nature of the questions that they are in fact different.
Clarification: It’s possible that the question is a duplicate of a different question, just not the question that has been stated it is the duplicate of.
