--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/home/documents/files/scooter17.dat

I am trying to cut out everything upto scooter17.dat so that it will only print out the scooter17.dat

any ideas?
great advices will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

********Updated***************
Thank you for the replys. It works!! However, I am trying to do that for all the folders I have, meaning /home/documents/downloads/file1.dat and so on. So is there a way for me to write on script that only prints out the file name(file1.dat) for all the folders I have?

Thank you

Why you started a new thread for the same kind of problem?
I think you are looking for something like this:

Code:

find . -type f -exec basename {} \;
