After talking to our resmgr maintainer even more,

Please talk to some bash script expert also ;-)

----------------------------------------------------------------- for d in /usr/share/sane/descriptions/*.desc \ /usr/share/sane/descriptions-external/*.desc ; \ do grep ':usbid' $d ; \ done | sort -u -----------------------------------------------------------------

With this I bestow you the "useless use of for loop award". Congratulations! Please use (in one line) grep -h ':usbid' /usr/share/sane/descriptions/*.desc /usr/share/sane/descriptions-external/*.desc | sort -u This does exactly the same and saves the for loop and several calls of grep ;-) An even shorter command is grep -h ':usbid' /usr/share/sane/descriptions{,-external}/*.desc | sort -u (not sure if the {foo,bar} expansion is bash-specific) You might also want to use '^:usbid' (anchor at line start) instead of ':usbid' to avoid strange problems in case a scanner has a funny name ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
