If I want to clip the leading directory off a bunch of source files in bash,
it's not too hard:
for i in src/*.cpp; do echo ${i/src\//}; done
or:
for i in src/*.cpp; do echo ${i:4:}; done
or:
for i in src/*.cpp; do echo ${i#src/*}; done
and if I want to change the .cpp to .o I can do something like:
for i in src/*.cpp; do echo ${i/.cpp/.o}; done
and there's other ways for that, too. But how can I do both in the same
expansion expression?
I would have thought that something would work like:
for i in src/*.cpp; do echo ${{i#src/*}/.cpp/.o}; done
but that doesn't, and neither does anything else I tried. The docs are silent
on the subject of multiple expansional operations.
Thanks,
