Having a problem removing the path from the output of a variable

gldetro · 06-03-2013, 10:23 AM

Here is my code:

cols=$1
assetType=$2
whichDir=$3
# Check for all parameters
if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then
echo "[$programID] ibmAF-I Missing Asset type parameter"
echo "[$programID] ibmAF-I Usage: $programID <columns> <assettype> <directory>"
exit 2
fi
#########################################################
fileSet="ls $assetDir/$assetType/$whichDir/*"
for file in $fileSet
do
hostName=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN {FS="::"}{print $1}'`
ipAddress=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN {FS="::"}{print $2}'`
newStatus=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN {FS="::"}{print $3}'`
jdate=`echo $file | awk 'BEGIN {FS="::"}{print $4}'`
echo "$hostName...$ipAddress...$newStatus...$jdate"
done

Output:

ibmAFMEB:/opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/bin # ./ibmQuickCloudBuildTableEntry 4 SA4SD21 Inactive
ls.........
/opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive/SA4TeamSD003...10.91.0.203...Ready...2013151

/opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive/SA4TeamSD010...10.91.0.210...Ready...2013151

I want to remove the /opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive part of the output... any ideas (have played with basename and sed with no luck).

What exactly is not working with basename? Here it is how it looks on my system:

Code:

bash-4.2$ basename /opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive/SA4TeamSD010...10.91.0.210...Ready...2013151
SA4TeamSD010...10.91.0.210...Ready...2013151

the variable hostname is the fully qualified path/filename (/opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive/SA4TeamSD003)

I want to remove the path from the so that it only displays SA4TeamSD003. Basename only works with files so that isn't going to work I have finally figured out.

Well not sure where you are getting your information from ... but it is wrong.

Basename does not only work with files:

Code:

$ x=/opt/lampp/htdocs/ibmQuickCloud/assets/SA4SD21/Inactive/SA4TeamSD003
$ basename $x
SA4TeamSD003

Assuming assetDir is being set further up in your code and your unusual file names are of the format 'SA4TeamSD010::10.91.0.210::Ready::2013151', I would probably use something like:

Code:

for file in $assetDir/$assetType/$whichDir/*
do
    items_arr=(${file//::/ })

    echo "${item_arr[0]##*/}...${item_arr[1]}...${item_arr[2]}...${item_arr[3]}"
done
