The project I'm working on is auditing and cross-checking information about internal repos. I have the information, not the packages nor the repos. (well, technically I *have* the packages but they're not on the machine that is doing the work) How's this for a regular expression? It works on all the test cases I've written so far. #! /usr/bin/python import sys import re for x in sys.argv[1:]: m = re.search(r'(.*)/*(.*)-(.*)-(.*?)\.(.*)(\.rpm)', x) if m: (path, name, version, release, platform, _) = m.groups() path = path or '' verrel = version + '-' + release print "\t".join([path, name, verrel, version, release, platform]) else: sys.stderr.write('ERROR: Invalid name: %s\n' % x) sys.exit(1) Tom _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
