-----Message d'origine----- De: Jas Grewal (DHL UK) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: mercredi 13 août 2003 15:29 À: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Org Objet: regular expresion question. Hi all, I am trying to write a regular expresion to get a file path from a cron file, I have issolated the required lines, but am having problems with extracting just the file path and name. The line is as follows : 30 23 * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 600 6 I inned to extract just the '/usr/bin/sa/sa1' section. Any guidance would be appreciated.
