first, send replies to me...not the list...
i'm no script guru...what i would like to do is become familiar with piping output to a file and perhaps a little formatting.. for this example, i would like the output of 'dpkg -l' to be redirected to a file called dpkg.html. at the end of every package decription, i would like to add the <br> tag so it looks nice on the page. quite simply, i'm trying to get a grip of scripting...doesn't matter it it's perl, bash+sed, etc. starting small...simple...so for the gurus, this may be trivial to you, but i would really appreciate the help...being a semi-n00b. ideas? -TIA- -jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
