Simple Qns: How to read and output arguements

warmight · 05-22-2008, 03:35 AM

Dear all,

How to do a script to do the following?
CommandA <fileA.txt> <fileA.XXX>

Take in the first arguement - e.g. fileA.txt and output to second arguement - e.g. fileA.XXX
Where the 2nd arguement must be the same filename of the first except only the extension which is different?

Many Thanks in advance.

regards,

Here what I would do, knowing that the first file extension is .txt and that I want the second extension to be .XXX:
CommandA fileA.txt `basename fileA.txt .txt`.XXX
