Subject: ver_linux: procps, look for numerical input, not field number
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7230872ce44667003876f6ef6d3401636033453;p=linux-beck.git

ver_linux: procps, look for numerical input, not field number

Rely on regex to find the version number, rather than rely on numerical input to be found in a particular input field.
Proposed implementation also eliminates the necessity to invoke 'grep' + 'awk'.
