Hi,

in a shell program I have a string in a variable say

a="/opt/casp/asp-server-3000"

now I need to extract asp-server-3000 from this,I mean I need the part of string which comes after the last slash / in the string a.

How can i do this using awk or grep etc etc.
I need the exact command pl.

You can do :

Code:

# with all shells
string=`basename $a`

# with Ksh or Bash
string=${a##*/}
