Anyone, Is there a way to get tar to return the date of the most recent file in a tarball?
Example: $ tar tvzf leaf/devel/ddouthitt/packages/cal.lrp -rwxr-xr-x root/root 9648 2001-12-17 06:42:08 usr/bin/cal -rw-r--r-- root/root 32 2001-12-17 06:42:21 var/lib/lrpkg/cal.list Desired output: 2001-12-17 If possible, I'd like to use (find leaf/ -iname "*.lrp") in a loop (for/while) of some kind. I thought I would ask this time. I needlessly wasted five hours trying to sort the packages-list.txt file manually. Charles provided this shell script that performed the task in a few seconds. #! /bin/bash find leaf/ -iname "*.lrp" | while read file ; do echo `basename $file`" : $file"; done | sort I used the sed line below on the file after it was generated to create the current pacakages-list.txt file. $ sed -e 's/leaf\//http\:\/\/leaf-project\.org\//g' packages-list.txt > packages.txt -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
