I have a line
EXTDIR=`echo $i | sed 's/\-tar.gz//'`
which looks for files ending in -tar.gz, i would like to increase the functionality so that it looks for .tar.gz files as well as -tar.gz. Do i put the - in square brackets with a dot ? like this
EXTDIR=`echo $i | sed 's/\[-.]tar.gz//'`
unfortunately i dont have my box at hand to test this but i would love to know so i can be prepared
any help on this would be greatly appreciated
