I've wondered about that too. In fact, I've been saving that mail all
this time thinking I'd get around to deciphering it. Here's my swipe
at it
/ = beginning and end of "match" for awk (the statement that its trying to
match)
^ = match lines that *start* with whatever follows
[...] = match any of the characters inside the brackets
^ = negate the above, so _don't_ match the characters
D|+ = the list of characters to *not* match
so this /^[^D|+]/ will exclude any line that starts with 'D' (like the
first line of dpkg -l output, any line starting with '|' like the
column headings, any line starting with '+' like the big line that
underlines the headings.
Its turns dpkg -l output from :
