Anyone have an alternate way to parse an environment variable?
I have a filename in an environment variable that I'd like to parse.
The filename is of the form "foo.bar.txt" and I'd like to parse out
"bar". This is the solution I'm currently using:
file=foo.bar.txt
file=${file%.txt}
file=${file#foo.}
Any other solutions?
Regards,
