[Gambas-user] OT: BASH help!

[Hamish Robertson]

Woah thanks rob! Perl?!! Uh oh...

Yeah I've tried that ls thingy but I need to get rid or the .deb extension
and list it as csv...i.e package1, package2, package3, etc...

is this do-able in bash? or is something like perl or python the go here?
Can I do it in gambas?

I'm so new to this... :p

H.
