Actually removing the sed part keeps it simpler and allows you to see the exact match(es), e.g.:

Code:

$ cat scriptname
#!/bin/sh
bzcat ~/MANIFEST.bz2 | grep -Fe "||   Package:" -e "$1" | grep -B1 -F "$1"
$ scriptname libmpfr
||   Package:  ./a/aaa_elflibs-14.0-i486-4.txz
-rwxr-xr-x root/root    299212 2012-06-29 11:59 usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1.2.2
--
||   Package:  ./l/mpfr-3.1.0-i486-1.txz
-rwxr-xr-x root/root       941 2012-03-23 21:57 usr/lib/libmpfr.la
-rwxr-xr-x root/root    369804 2012-03-23 21:57 usr/lib/libmpfr.so.4.1.0
-rw-r--r-- root/root    679242 2012-03-23 21:57 usr/lib/libmpfr.a

Thanks a lot, ruario, I'm now using the following:

Code:

bzcat "$m" | grep -Fe "||   Package:" -e "$arg" | \
grep -B1 -F "$arg" | sed -n 's/||   Package:  //p' | \
grep -v \/source\/ | sed 's/^\.\///'

And get an output like this:

Code:

[a] aaa_elflibs-14.1-i486-2
[l] mpfr-3.1.2-i486-1

--or--

[a][*] aaa_elflibs-14.1-i486-2
[l] [ ] mpfr-3.1.2-i486-1

@lems: Just use one sed call, rather than two, e.g.:

Code:

sed -n 's,||   Package:  .*/\(.*\),\1,p'

EDIT: Also, you don't need to escape the slashes in your grep command. Something like this should work:

Code:

bzcat "$m" | grep -Fe "||   Package:" -e "$arg" | \
grep -FB1 "$arg" | sed -n 's,||   Package:  .*/\(.*\),\1,p' | \
grep -v /source/

Thanks for the hints, ruario. Though with the new sed command, it no longer preserves the series directory, which I found quite neat.

(On a sidenote, I've now implemented an « OpenBSD installer style » select/deselect mechanism, so one can select/deselect packages by typing a part of their name. This is not as convenient as a dialog interface, but a nice compromise.)
