# recsel
> Print records from a recfile: a human-editable, plain text database.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/manual/recutils.html#Invoking-recsel>.
- Extract name and version field:
`recsel {{[-p|--print]}} name,version {{data.rec}}`
- Use "~" to match a string with a given `regex`:
`recsel {{[-e|--expression]}} "{{field_name}} ~ '{{regex}}' {{data.rec}}"`
- Use a predicate to match a name and a version:
`recsel {{[-e|--expression]}} "name ~ '{{regex}}' && version ~ '{{regex}}'" {{data.rec}}`
