Hi there

I'm meating an issue with my variable in my bach script.

my variable look somthing like this:

Code:

Fullpath=../../myfile.cc

but some times i need to retrive
../../myfile.cc
and some other time i just need:
myfile

so i manage to remove the ".cc" by doing this:

Code:

echo ${Fullpath%.cc}

but how to remove "../../" ?

Thanks,
Angel.

echo (Fullpath#../../)

You can also do this:

Code:

basename "$Fullpath"

Besides you can also use basename to remove a suffix. For instance

Code:

basename "$Fullpath" ".cc"

Will remove the ".cc".

Hope this is useful.

Cheers!
