Hi Ghostdog74,
I dont have python installed in my system so couldnt get this option worked.Anyways thanks a lot for your suggestion and i would keep it so that i will be useful in future if i have python installed.

Hi devtakh,
your code works but only for first option i.e the fields with APPLICATION are getting deleted but SOURCE_METHOD are still remaining.
Is it like that we can remove only one field at a time using sed??




Hi joeyg,
Thanks for showing another approach but it is not working in my system
It is showing like this.
$ > tr "," "\n" <file19 | grep -v "APPLICATION" | tr "\n" ","
ksh: ,: not found

Could you please help me find out why is it so?

Thanks in advance.
Usha
That is because METHOD was incorrectly spelt as MEATHOD Smilie

Code:
sed -e 's/APPLICATION[^,]*,//g' -e 's/SOURCE_METHOD[^,]*,//g' filename


cheers,
Devaraj Takhellambam

DH_PYTHON(1)							     Debhelper							      DH_PYTHON(1)

NAME
dh_python - calculates Python dependencies and adds postinst and prerm Python scripts (deprecated) SYNOPSIS
dh_python [debhelperoptions] [-n] [-V version] [moduledirs...] DESCRIPTION
Note: This program is deprecated. You should use dh_python2 instead. This program will do nothing if debian/pycompat or a Python-Version control file field exists. dh_python is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${python:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files. It will also add a postinst and a prerm script if required. The program will look at Python scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to generate a dependency on python, with the current major version, or on pythonX.Y if your scripts or modules need a specific python version. The dependency will be substituted into your package's control file wherever you place the token ${python:Depends}. If some modules need to be byte-compiled at install time, appropriate postinst and prerm scripts will be generated. If already byte- compiled modules are found, they are removed. If you use this program, your package should build-depend on python. OPTIONS
module dirs If your package installs Python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_python check those directories by passing their names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE, /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE and /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages. Note: only /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and the extra names on the command line are searched for binary (.so) modules. -V version If the .py files your package ships are meant to be used by a specific pythonX.Y version, you can use this option to specify the desired version, such as 2.3. Do not use if you ship modules in /usr/lib/site-python. -n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 3.5.7 Python policy, version 0.3.7 SEE ALSO
