[U2] unix equivalent of FNAME = FIELD( PATH, '/', DCOUNT(PATH, '/' )
A Quick Friday afternoon question. I'm writing a script and I have a fully qualified path in $path. I want the final filename in that path. fname=`some_command $path` I *know* there is some command for this, but I cant find it. So if path is /twas/brillig/and/the/slithy/toves, then I want toves in standard out.

basename is probably what you want. On Fri, 2006-07-14 at 16:06 -0400, Stevenson, Charles wrote: A Quick Friday afternoon question. I'm writing a script and I have a fully qualified path in $path.

I believe that basename and dirname are what you are looking for. For example, basename /tmp/abc/def would return def. -- Charlie Rubeor Senior Database Administrator Wiremold/Legrand 60 Woodlawn Street West Hartford, CT 06110 Tel: 800-233-6251 x3498 Fax: 860-523-3690 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Stevenson, Charles [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/14/2006 04:06 PM Please respond to u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org cc Subject [U2] unix equivalent of FNAME = FIELD( PATH, '/', DCOUNT(PATH, '/' ) A Quick Friday afternoon question.

basename it is. thanks! cds So if path is /twas/brillig/and/the/slithy/toves, then I want toves in standard out.

Actually, I was thinking of cut, but I don't see an option to get the last piece. The depth is unknown. But I think there is another command that inverts a file, byte-by-byte, let's call bbbi (byte by byte inversion) cuz I don't know it either: bbbi $logname | cut -d/ -f1 | bbbi Thanks to all of you for the help. basename dirname were what I was trying to rememnber. Now I can go home for the weekend. Chuck Stevenson --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
