From the GNU sed info manual:

`\?'
 As `*', but only matches zero or one.  It is a GNU extension.

 It appears ar is the app which uses 4 field dates that I was looking
 for ;-s . Please try the following patch against vfs/extfs/uar. It
 removes the fourth date field from the ls output.

The patch behaves well on Linux (with GNU tools), but not on Solaris for
example.

+   thisyear=$(date +%Y)

This should be changed to:

thisyear=`date +%Y`

Why is this necessary:

+   $XAR tv $1 | sed 's,^,-,;s, , 1 ,;s,/, ,' | sed -e 
s/\(.\?\)\([0-2][0-9]\:[0-5][0-9] \)\(${thisyear} \)\(.*\)/\1\2\4/ | sed -e 
s/\(.\?\)\([0-2][0-9]\:[0-5][0-9] \)\([0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] \)\(.*\)/\1\3\4/
^^^

The \? is GNU extension and I don't really understand why that construct
is necessary (I am not a regex guru though) so can you explain ?

 Since it is impossible to distinguish between 3 and 4 field dates and
 the implementation of a separate path for 3 and 4 field dates is not
 trivial the approach should always be to strip down 4 field dates to 3
 fields.

I agree. Determining the date format could be achieved but it is not a
trivial task and I am not really sure that it is so important after all.

Hi Pavel,

I assumed the $(command) was portable. If not I need to restore the
backticks in mc.wrapper.sh as well.

 The \? is GNU extension and I don't really understand why that construct
 is necessary (I am not a regex guru though) so can you explain ?

The .* matches greedily, so a file name containing a time would be
matched instead of the actual time. This is why I used the '?'. Is there
a non GNU equivalent for a non greedy match?

I'm no regex guru either, so input on how to do this better is
appreciated.

By the way, instead of a pipe the second expression should only be used
if the first didn't match. The current construct strips the year of a
file with a name that starts with a year and has a date in this year
(i.e. 01:23 2006 2005 bla).

 I agree. Determining the date format could be achieved but it is not a
 trivial task and I am not really sure that it is so important after all.

I'll document the fact that dates being passed to vfs_parse_ls_lga()
need to be parsed back to 3 fields.

Leonard.
