RegEx help needed (sed?)
by Kevin McGregor 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

I'm using sed to massage some input. Specifically, I have input lines like aaaaaaaaaa/BBBBB_ccc@00000 or aaaaaaaaaa/BBBBB@00000 and I want the output to always be BBBBB I've got most of it, but I can't figure out how to get rid of anything at the end of the line after EITHER the underscore OR the '@' (including either of those two characters). Is this possible in one expression in sed? I can do it with piping the input through sed twice but I was wondering if one pass would do it. Currently I'm using sed "s/^.*\/$.*$[_(a)].*$/\1/" Which doesn't get rid of the "_ccc" when it appears, just the "@00000". Suggestions?

Linux Pro Mag has a neat DVD this month

The November Linux Pro Mag, which I think should still be on the newstands(??), has a neat DVD this month. Instead of the usual lame distro, they put on a digital searchable copy of every issue and article since they started publishing (191 issues). Not a bad deal for the price of 1 magazine. (As a subscriber I just got it last week, however they might be a month ahead on the newstands, so if you want it, go grab it now! Or order it on their website, though I'm sure shipping is prohibitive.)
