Getting pathname variables with ksh
With C Shell you can get the root, head, tail and extension of a pathname by using pathname variable modifiers.
Example Script: #! /bin/csh set pathvar=/home/WSJ091305.txt echo $pathvar:r echo $pathvar:h echo $pathvar:t echo $pathvar:e The result of executing this script is: /home/WSJ091305 /home WSJ091305.txt txt My question is: How can this be done using ksh (I specifically need to get the extension)? Thanks in advance for the help.

r->[/home/WSJ091305] h->[/home] t->[WSJ091305.txt] e->[txt] Is there a way to only get the results as with the csh?

This worked beautifully.
I was able to get what I needed. Could you point me to some documentation that explains the commands you used to get this? Specifically, what all the characters do? I'm unfamiliar with them. Thanks so much for your help.
