That doesn't work on my sunOS 5.10. But thanks the same.

summer_cherry:
It works perfect! -and I've learned a lot about this nawk utility today. Thanks for your help!

porter:
That was what I did- however, I wanted the installation program to be able to run as many times as the users like without the need of uninstallation in between- and every time it runs it should be as clean as the first time... I thought that'd make it all a bit more dynamic...
Thanks for the suggestion!!

DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)

NAME
dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_clean [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params] DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or clean target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is run to clean the package. This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually. OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options. -- params Pass params to the program that is run. These can be used to supplement or override the any standard parameters that dh_auto_clean passes. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
