You should be able to figure out something from what I've told you in the other thread, only the grep lines will need some adjusting.

Well, that's just it. The output needs to be [number].[number].[number]-pre/-rc/-test.[number]. The number parts are easy but the "-pre/-rc/-test" is not so.

[Bachstelze]

'[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+-(test|pre|rc)[0-9]*'

Ok, well that wasn't so bad.
