removing characters from end of string
I am in a UNIX programming course and I have a problem in which I have to make a shell script that accepts two arguments. The first is an existing file and the second is a suffix to remove from the end of the file's name.
Example: unsuffix file1.temp .temp This will take the second argument ".temp" and remove it from the file name "file1.temp" and rename the file to "file1". I can't figure out an effective way of removing the second argument from the end of the file name. If anyone can give me a clue as to how to go about this I would really appreciate it. BTW Whether it matters or not it is on a AIX box and we use Korn as our default shell but we run our scripts under Bourne. Thanks |
