What Georg tries to tell you here in a geeky [1] way is that this is a way to specify search&replace procedures based on a quite powerful system called regular expressions [2]. The s/dri\.conf/drirc/g quoted earlier basically boils down to "Search for dri.conf and replace with drirc everwhere it is encountered in the input" Cheers, Kevin [1] Having become a CEO means he needs to actively remind people that he's actually a geek and knows stuff ;) [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
