Hi,

Or something like this in Sed or Perl within the $(shell) expansion:


    $ gcc -dumpversion | perl -pe 's/^(\d+\.\d+)$/$1.0/'
    4.7.0

    # Tests:
    $ echo 4.7 | perl -pe 's/^(\d+\.\d+)$/$1.0/'
    4.7.0

    $ echo 4.7.0 | perl -pe 's/^(\d+\.\d+)$/$1.0/'
    4.7.0

    $ echo 4.7.1 | perl -pe 's/^(\d+\.\d+)$/$1.0/' 
    4.7.1

    $ echo 144.7 | perl -pe 's/^(\d+\.\d+)$/$1.0/'  
    144.7.0
