In terminal I run softwareupdate -l and get this result...

1.  How do I just get the following...
iCal 1.5.5
iPod Updater 2004-11-15, (null)
iTunes 4.7.1
Mac OS X Update 10.3.7
AirPort Software 4.1

Any help is appreciated.

One way, using a little Perl: $ softwareupdate -l | perl -ne 'print "$1 $2\n" if /^\s+(.*), (.*), .*/' iCal 1.5.5 iPod Updater 2004-11-15 (null) iTunes 4.7.1 Mac OS X Update Combined 10.3.7

(My output is a little different 'cuz my software is a little different.)

If you decide you want package names instead, this will get the required ones (!'s):
$ softwareupdate -l | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /^\s*!\s*(.*)/'
iCal155-1.5.5
iPod2004-11-15-0
iTunes4-4.7.1
MacOSXUpdateCombo10.3.7-10.3.7


Mind the quotes if you try to put this in a do shell script...
