Hi

I have a variable whose value is like this
i=/test/test1/test2/myfile.cd.070505123457
i would like to have the value of myfile.cd stored into another variable

my attempt is
test=${i##*/} ;echo $test ##and i get
myfile.cd.070505123457

since what i wnat is myfile.cd i try this
test={{${i##*/}}##.} ;echo $test
and i get an error

Any idea how do i get what i want ?

regards
xiamin
