This worked like a charm here. Now I need to figure out HOW it did that. I'm not familiar with sed yet.

Thanks MUCH for that tip.

:D :D


I prefer gawk myself...
Code:
emerge -p $(qlist -IvC qt | gawk '{ if (sub(/\-4\.8.*/, "")) print $0 }')


I devoted a few weeks to becoming a gawk guru - I find it quite useful for scripts... The syntax for sed is a bit too obtuse for my liking...

Anyway - there's many ways to skin a cat... :-)
