I assumed the $(command) was portable. If not I need to restore the backticks in mc.wrapper.sh as well. > The \? is GNU extension and I don't really understand why that construct > is necessary (I am not a regex guru though) so can you explain ? The .* matches greedily, so a file name containing a time would be matched instead of the actual time. This is why I used the '?'. Is there a non GNU equivalent for a non greedy match? I'm no regex guru either, so input on how to do this better is appreciated. By the way, instead of a pipe the second expression should only be used if the first didn't match. The current construct strips the year of a file with a name that starts with a year and has a date in this year (i.e. "01:23 2006 2005 bla"). > I agree.

I'll document the fact that dates being passed to vfs_parse_ls_lga() need to be parsed back to 3 fields.
