[ILUG] OpenOffice.org Location

[Mark Finlay]

I'm writing an addon to OpenOffice.org and I need to be able to autodetect where on the system
the use has installed OpenOffice.org. So far I've got the following bash script:

	echo "Where is the man OpenOffice Install"
	read location
	echo "" >> /etc/profile
	echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:$location/program\" " >> /etc/profile
	echo "export EOFFICE=\"$location\" " >> /etc/profile

That lets me use the oo location in my scripts but I'd prefer to autodetect
the program location. OpenOffice puts the .sversionrc file in the users home directory 
containing the following text:


[Versions]
OpenOffice.org 1.0=file:///home/sisob/OpenOffice.org1.0



I need to suck out the location, in this case /home/sisob/OpenOffice.org1.0
to use in the bash script. Anyone want to right me a scriptlet in perl of bash
or something standard like that. Go on: show us all how leet a coder you are.

Any ideas?
