  • Should I save this as a separate file in the same directory? I have never done this before. Commented Feb 26, 2015 at 20:34
  • @Vesnog - You can if you like - you can then source it like . ./filename.fn (or whatever you name it). Or you can copy/paste it into your command-line. After doing either thing you'd just call it like glob_hsli. I think I got it ironed out to handle all outside cases now, as well. It will recurse if it needs to get a match for *.*.h5 without also matching *.*.*.h5 - but it will quit as soon as it can regardless. With your above dataset, one iteration should be all it takes.

  • Thanks once again while we are at it I got another file that has some line with a word like reso=35, how can I extract 35 here? Tried glob_hsli and it returns 0. 03.h5 Commented Feb 26, 2015 at 20:43

    @Vesnog - sed '/\n/P;//!s/reso=\([0-9]\{1,\}\)/\n\1\n/;D' <file - but you might want to use literal newlines rather than the ns in the right hand side of the s///ubstitution. Look here... Commented Feb 26, 2015 at 20:47

    @Vesnog - oh! I get it. I do think it should glob .15 before in order before .03, but if not we can explicitly test for that. It's not so hard. Commented Feb 26, 2015 at 21:28
