scripting

[jeff <jmr71769@earthlink.net>]

first, send replies to me...not the list...


i'm no script guru...what i would like to do is become familiar with
piping output to a file and perhaps a little formatting..

for this example, i would like the output of 'dpkg -l' to be redirected
to a file called dpkg.html. at the end of every package decription, i
would like to add the <br> tag so it looks nice on the page.

quite simply, i'm trying to get a grip of scripting...doesn't matter it
it's perl, bash+sed, etc.

starting small...simple...so for the gurus, this may be trivial to you,
but i would really appreciate the help...being a semi-n00b.

ideas?

-TIA-

-jeff
