$ echo $var1

$ FILE_NM=`echo ${var1##*=}`.gz (Take everything after symbol = from var1 and append .gz)

$ echo $FILE_NM
Options_NSE1.txt.enc.gz

$ echo "File to be ftped is $FILE_NM"
File to be ftped is Options_NSE1.txt.enc.gz

$ echo $var1
REPLYFILENAME=Options_UK1.txt.enc

$ FILE_NM=`echo ${var1##*=}`.gz (Take everything after symbol = from var1 and append .gz)

$ echo $FILE_NM
.gzions_UK1.txt.enc (Incorrectly prints the variable $FILE_NM)

$ echo "File to be ftped is $FILE_NM"
.gze to be ftped is Options_UK1.txt.enc (Puts some garbage .gze in place of the word "File". Prints $FILE_NM correctly, which is different from the o/p of the previous command)

echo $var1 | hexdump -C
