Hello
If you do not know the suffix then you cannot use basename.
ksh and bash have string extension which can do the job.
Below are expressions which will work in every shell:
path="`expr "$i" : '\(.*\)/'`" # get file path (if any)
name="`expr "//$i" : '.*/\([^/]*\)'`" # remove path to file
suffix="`expr "$name" : '.*\.\([^./]*\)$'`" # extract last suffix
name="`expr "$name" : '\(.*\)\.[^.]*$'`" # remove last suffix
