I have spent a couple of hours trying to answer this myself, so forgive me if the answer is simple but I have tried.
I have a text file generated from svn log output which contains a list of files.
Two regexps im using are
and
They both work but some lines has a mixture of both formats. I have tried sed -e and other patterns, some produce the same results (simpler patterns) and some dont at all. This is to be expected.
Problem is the two example patterns are like this
I need to extract out from a text list as above the following
Im looking for one regexp that would do both in the context of sed
Im sure this must be simple enough for some one who ise familair with regexp, but I just started today and need some help.
Many thanks in advance

Actually based on your reply using the () and no 2 etc, I think I should have used a fuller example. My mistake, I had thought the answer to my simplified question would have been enough.
I have a script
I am happy to use a fully in-line style as follows
I'm trying to see how I can integrate the provided solution into my wider example. Wish I had shown the fuller answer, was hoping I could apply it to my issue.
Many thanks

Hello Franklin52 and everyone else.
One thing that confuses me is that the following pattern
Doesn't seem to work correctly, I thought the * meant that any number or none of the characters were matched. So why would hhh_bbb be processed and hhh be ignored?
Im still having problems integrating the solutions into the fuller example I gave. I am unable to use php as it's not on the server. I could use perl but would really like to understand why the underscore is making things so tricky. I realise HP-UX sed isn't normally as fully featured as other versions.
Thanks

Let me share a full problem so you can see more clearly;
Example file to process
As far as I can tell the pattern
Should cope with both x11_lll and x11
When I remove the underscore I see a mixture of stripped down programs only and unprocessed lines as follows;
When I keep the underscore the resultant file looks okay but misses all the lines that had x11 only (as opposed to x11_lll). In the last code fragment the last two lines are correct in final output im looking for.
In your post #5, [.]* means zero or more literal dots, which is not what you intend to match. .* in turn would be a greedy match, removing too many characters. Try instead
