I have looked through marc's user creation script and I am trying to make some changes to it. The problem I have is with the two lines: sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@' sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[a-A-z0-9.]*@@'
What does "@" mean in terms of sed? My google searching has come up with nothing even remotly usefull on this topic. As I understand it: sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@' [a-zA-Z0-9]*\@ means (roughly) search for any string starting with any upper case letter, lower case letter, or digit. That string is of uknown length, but is terminated by the first @ sign we find. I am ok with this part it is the @ at the begining, and the @@ at the end that I don't understand. [EMAIL PROTECTED] means (roughly) search for any string starting with an @, and followed by any number of upper case letter, lower case letter, or digits. That string is of uknown length, but is terminated by the first "." sign we find. I am ok with this part it is the @ at the begining, and the @@ at the end that I don't understand. Also it would seem that this would chop off the .com part of the domain. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
