Looks like I can do:
path = `dirname $path` # for directory
path = `basename $path` # similar to path=${path##/*/}Is this the best option? Rob Hudson wrote:
Given a variable with something like this in it: /Volumes/Projects/Testing/Simple_Carbon_App.pkg I need to extract the base path to get: /Volumes/Projects/TestingI found how to get the last part in an example, though I don't fully understand what's going on. Assuming "path" has the first volume path, calling this:path=${path##/*/} Will set path to: Simple_Carbon_App.pkg I'm looking for more or less the opposite of that. Any pointers to documentation would be good. Working code is nice too. :P Thanks, Rob _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
