Hi all, I have a log file a like this:
The following packages were available in this version but NOT upgraded: Canna-devel-3.7p3-6.i386.rpm GConf-devel-1.0.9-15.i386.rpm Guppi-devel-0.40.3-21.i386.rpm HelixPlayer-1.0.1.gold-6.i386.rpm Maelstrom-3.0.6-6.i386.rpm MagicPoint-1.11b-1.i386.rpm NetworkManager-0.3.1-3.i386.rpm NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.1-3.i386.rpm But with many more lines. I want to create a regex or substition to get rid of the rpm numbering and leave only the package name, so I can feed this to apt or yum and install the missing rpms. So far I have swapped all \n for spaces, which gets everything on one line (using perl on the command line perl -pi -e 's/\n/ /' toinstall.log) Can I make a regex for this, (don't tell me how, I'm just not sure which way to go) or should I carry one with substition? Also, could I match rpm and substitute so many characters in front of it as well, like match rpm + 7 chars? Gavin. -- Just getting into the best language ever...
