Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bash command line to strip tar.gz file extension? Post 302772757 by Yoda on Tuesday 26th of February 2013 05:21:43 PM

How about using sed to remove the extension and print:
Code:
ls | grep tar.gz | sed 's/\.tar\.gz//g'

or simply:
Code:
ls *.tar.gz | sed 's/\.tar\.gz//g'

or using parameter substitution:
Code:
for file in *.tar.gz; do echo "${file%.tar.gz}"; done
