LinuxQuestions.org - Bash to find and disect current working Directory

hi

PWD command shows the full path relative to root
however i hoping to find just the last segment
/home/carl0ski/.kde/share/apps/amarok

amarok

pwd |cut -d/ -f5

achieves but i need something that works on varying directory depths.

If you ineterested heres the reason
Amarok creates a .directory file to make the album cover the folder image, linking to the amarok cache in you home directory

however under varying users and computers i prefer the image to be stored in the actual album directory.
i use the folder name (Album name) as the Image name rather that the random characters amarok uses in the cache.

Code:

for cd in *

do cd "$cd"

pwd

image=`cat .directory |grep Icon| cut -d= -f2`



#name of the album based on last path name

album=`pwd |cut -d/ -f5`



#copy source image to the ablum folder and rename it to  album.png

cp "$image" ./"$album".png



#replace Icon=/home/carl0ski/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ with 

#the one contained in the albums directory

##Backing up original

mv .directory .directory.backup

echo [Desktop Entry] >.directory

echo Icon=./${album}.png>>.directory



#back to root fo next Directory

cd ../

pwd

done
