Morning all, I'm in a shell script (hey, it's dark in here) in the middle of a 'for f in *' loop and I walking through a list of directories that looks like: 5.1 5.1.1 5.1.1-LINUX 5.1.1-FC3 5.1.1-RH73 5.1.1_debug 5.1.1_debug_O1G 5.1.2 5.1.2-LINUX 5.1.2-FC3 5.1.2-RH73 5.1.2_debug 5.1.2_debug_O1G All of these start with a number. I'm looking for a simple regex to pick off everything up to and including the last numerical value and throw away everything after the last numerical value. Regex has always been a mystery to me, any help would be great! TIA, :b! Brian D. McGrew { brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } -- > This is a test. This is only a test! Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been told to cancel this test and seek professional assistance!
