You can hide this nastiness and ultimately end up with something more robust
if you write a shell script to wrap all this up.
To answer the specific questions: try this shell script
#! /bin/sh
test $# -eq 1 || {
echo "Usage:"
echo "sh $0 <file_with_path>"
exit 1
}
dir=`dirname $1`
base=`basename $1 .lyx`
echo "Directory is $dir
echo "File base is $base"
