Not quite but thanks for telling me the location of the pkg directory (btw, it's var/db/ I've now worked out how to get what I want via : cd /var/db/pkg for i in * do MATCHES=`grep -c $i /usr/ports/INDEX-6` if [ $MATCHES -gt 0 ] then #echo "Pattern $i Matched $MATCHES times" else echo "Pattern $i not matched" fi done In my case I was looking for files that weren't at the same revision level as the ports tree but both options are accounted for.
