Thanks again, Thom. I'll keep those suggestions for future reference.
For now, I think I will stick with my original single-column approach for my script. That way, I know I am getting the correct value returned.
I'm in the process of tweaking the script to incorporate both
- the above-mentionned one-liner (global, not ARCH-specific; that might change), and
- additional flags to provide either the full, detailed, ARCH-specific repository report, and also a full, ARCH-specific summary-only which would provide, for each, the name ("Found" lines) accompanied by just the "Description:" contents.
Updated script [Version 3] to offer ARCH-specific summary-only one-liner for each repository.
Updated script [Version 4] to present ARCH-specific selector buttons in more compact 4-column array with all the identified choices.
