How can I output the following lines without admin/resizer.php

abefroman · 11-14-2009, 11:35 AM

I have a file.txt containing the following:

Code:

/home/the/public_html/1234213/pictures/admin/resizer.php
/home/alf/public_html/files/photos1/admin/resizer.php
/home/alf/public_html/joe/photo/admin/resizer.php
/home/alf/public_html/photos/admin/resizer.php
/home/alf/public_html/tom/gallery/admin/resizer.php
/home/st/public_html/gallery/admin/resizer.php

How can I cat that file and display the path but without admin/resizer.php?

cat file.txt | ???

TIA

Hi,

Code:

cat infile | while read THISLINE
> do
> echo ${THISLINE%admin/resizer.php}
> done

The ${THISLINE%admin/resizer.php} strips admin/resizer.php from the original input.

Hope this helps.
