separating cygcheck -f package name from version
I want to be able to extract a package's name from its version information output by cygcheck -f. For many packages it is easy: just strip off after the first hyphen; for example: $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/find findutils-4.6.0-1 $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/find | cut -d- -f1 findutils $ But, then there are cases where both the package name and the version have multiple hyphens: $ cygcheck -f /usr/share/man/man3p/wcstoimax.3p man-pages-posix-2013-a-1 $ cygcheck -c man-pages-posix Cygwin Package Information Package VersionStatus man-pages-posix 2013-a-1 OK $ So, looking for ideas how best to do this. --Ken Nellis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
