in reply to Need version regex

I don't think that's very practical. You're better off, IMO, to extract a version number, and compare it to your limit value, external to the regex. Trying to incorporate the comparison inside the regex, isn't very useful, IMO, but it is very hard, if it is even feasable.

    Sorry can't do. Because the only comparision in sed I can do is regex match. (See first sentence in original post and my answer to samtgear above)
