File List

[Jack]

Is there a some kind of script file to strip this kind file list?

Code: Select all

acl-2.3.1-3
acpid-2.0.34-1
acpid-openrc-20210506-1
archlinux-keyring-20230821-2
archlinux-mirrorlist-20230820-1
artix-keyring-20220901-1
artix-mirrorlist-20230809-3
attr-2.5.1-3
audit-3.1.2-1
base-3-1

This what I want to look like.

Code: Select all

acl 
acpid 
acpid-openrc 
archlinux-keyring 
archlinux-mirrorlist
artix-keyring
artix-mirrorlist
attr

I want to use the list to use with pacman if I can?

In Archlinux/Artix/Nemesis, you can

get the list of your installed packages:

Code: Select all

pacman -Q

get the list of your outdated packages:

Code: Select all

pacman -Qu

get the list of your outdated packages without version number:

Code: Select all

pacman -Qqu

Also you can:

Code: Select all

checkupdates | awk '{print $1}'

which omits the packages declared in the line IgnorePkg in the file /etc/pacman.conf.

But sticking to your specific question, the generic solution is to use a regular expression

Hi,
in the corresponding folder:

Code: Select all

find .$*\/* -printf "%f\n" | awk -F'-[0-9]' '{print $1}'

[M. Eerie]

^

Code: Select all

$ echo openssl-1.1 1.1.1.w-1 | awk -F'-[0-9]' '{print $1}'
openssl

Note there are some packages whose name could be truncated...
In the example I give, there are both openssl and openssl-1 packages, which are not the same.

I found the one I used before.

Code: Select all

ls -1 /mnt/live/memory/images/001-core.xzm/var/log/packages > /tmp/001-pkg.txt
for a in $(cat /tmp/001-pkg.txt); do echo ${a%-*-*-*} >> /tmp/001-name.txt; done

I'm going to upload it to MediaFire so I don't lose it any more.

When I tested your script Jack I needed to include a "/" after "packages".

This script was brokenman I use a few years ago that I just found by searching for it.

And thanks for finding the error.
