Hi all,
sorry, i'm having trouble doing something i'm sure is quite simple.
basically i have a linked file with a static caption that is reading the linked file's name, the swatches used and the creation date. it looks something like this:
filename.ai:3
white, blue, red
5/29/13
the file name is ALWAYS 8 characters and i'd like to remove the .ai:3 portion (whatever is happens to be), and keep the carriage return.
with the swatches used, i only need the first color listed and am using grep , .*~b to remove everything after the comma up to the end of the line, but it seems the same expression does not work using a . (period).
in the end, i was hoping to end up with this:
filename
white
5/29/13
thanks for any help. hope this makes sense!
s
