hi

i writing script which includes getting files in directroy with path.

storing in file.

for some instance i need only filename , how can i extract from it.

or
is there any way to get only file name if i use command like

ls -al a/b/c/xyz.jar


i want only file name to be displayed not the path of file. pls help me...


Advanced thanks

Hi,
briefly I can tell you to use the command basename, e.g.

basename /home/username/sh/myscript.sh

and the result will be: myscript.sh

in a short fome you can do:

FILE_NAME=$(basename $FULL_PATH_NAME)


I hope it works for you.

bye, bye,
ducasio
