Note that in this particular case, you could replace the grep with a cut -d- -f2,3 to avoid the overhead of another regexp matching.

When I used this, I got newlines embedded because the grep expression matches two parts. I guess the expression could be fixed but using cut sorts it. However, it's brittle: say the file was mypackage-other the fied numbers would be out. The other answer may be less efficient (not really an issue here) but it does work.

Yep, just thought it was nice to reuse the regex exactly
