slackpkg search case *in*sensitive

_ZeD_ · 12-14-2015, 11:52 AM

Hi.
is there a way to make slackpkg searches to treat the parameter as a case insensitive search key?
Most of the times, it's not a problem, because the packages are all lowercase, but sometimes (see MPlayer, GConf, OpenAL...) funny uppercase characters appears, and every time I need to double check (it's GConf? gconf? Gconf?...)

Hello,

You can use the environment variable GREP_OPTIONS="--ignore-case" (or simply GREP_OPTIONS="-i") on the command line :

Code:

$ GREP_OPTIONS="--ignore-case" slackpkg search mplayer

Looking for mplayer in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "mplayer".

[ installed ] - mplayerthumbs-4.10.5-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - phonon-mplayer-1b1fd1f_20110823git-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - MPlayer-1.1_20130819-x86_64-2
[uninstalled] - mplayerplug-in-3.55-x86_64-1

You can search specific files using "slackpkg file-search file"

As a temporary workaround:

Code:

GREP_OPTIONS="-i" slackpkg search mplayer 2>/dev/null

Or create an alias in your ~/.bashrc:

Code:

alias grep='/bin/grep -i'

No, it doesn't. Unfortunately, my previous reply was not adequate. My apologies.

As bormant explains, aliases are not inherited in subshells. As an alternative solution, it's possible to use a slackpkg external function just to set the desired options for grep. For instance, create a file called /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/grep_options.sh and make it executable.

This file would only contain one line:

Code:

export GREP_OPTIONS="-i"

Unlike a global exported function, a slackpkg function would only be available to slackpkg itself, in case you need to use grep without the "-i" option in the command line or from another script.
