Hi,

Have to filter out string before the last underscore in the following

input: UNIX_Solaris_59_KSH

output: UNIX_Solaris_59

dummy one but

Thanks & Regards,
Sourabh Singh Khichi

Is the input stored in a file or in a shell variable?

ok with anything file or variable ..... any can help

Assuming you're using ksh, here are two ways to do it:

in=UNIX_Solaris_59_KSH
echo ${in%_*}
echo $in | sed 's/_[^_]*$//'

thanks a lot for your help
