In a foreach loop I end up with $file containing the filename INCLUDING the whole path. I want this reduced to just the filename, but I can't seem to remember how I did it some years back. I am sure I can do it with "sed", but I am pretty sure I have seen a simpler command.
Anyone?

Hi all,
Can I edit this script:

so that it will not only take out abc from the filename but also take out any numbers that might be in the filename as well.
An example would be,

mands
SYNOPSIS
ns_chmod option ?arg arg ...?
ns_cp option ?arg arg ...?
ns_cpfp option ?arg arg ...?
ns_ftruncate option ?arg arg ...?
ns_link option ?arg arg ...?
ns_mkdir option ?arg arg ...?

ns_rmdir option ?arg arg ...?
ns_symlink option ?arg arg ...?
ns_truncate option ?arg arg ...?
ns_unlink option ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
ns_chmod filename mode
Change a file's access permissions. ns_chmod changes the specified file's permissions to mode, in the same manner as the Unix
chmod(1) command-line utility.
ns_cp -preserve file1 file2
Copy one file to another. ns_cp copies the contents of file1 to file2, just like the Unix "cp" command. The default directory is
the home directory for the server. If -preserve is specified, the copied file will retain the creation time, modification time,
owner, and mode of the original file, just like the Unix "cp -p" command.
ns_cpfp fileid1 fileid2 ?nbytes?
Copy a specified number of bytes from one file to another. ns_cpfp copies information from one file (fileid1) to another (fileid2).
If you specify a number of bytes in the nbytes argument, only the specified number of bytes will be copied. By default, the entire
file is copied.
ns_ftruncate fileid ?length?
Truncate an open file to a specified length. ns_ftruncate causes the open file specified by fileid to have a size of length bytes.
If length is not specified, it causes the file to have a size of zero bytes. The file must be open and be a regular file.
ns_link ?-nocomplain? filename1 filename2
Create a link. ns_link creates a link named filename2 that points to the file specified by filename1. If the link fails, a Tcl
error is generated, unless -nocomplain is specified.
ns_mkdir path
Create a directory. ns_mkdir creates the directory named PATH, just like the Unix mkdir command. By default, under Unix the direc-
tory is created with the file permissions set to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x.). These permissions can be modified by setting the umask parameter
for the server.
ns_rename file1 file2
Rename a file. ns_rename renames the first file (file1) to the file name specified by file2. Make sure that the files and the
directories in which the files exist are read/write accessible to the username that's running the AOLserver.
ns_rmdir path
Remove a directory. ns_rmdir removes the directory named path, just like the Unix rmdir command. The directory must already be
empty.
ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename
Remove a file. ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If -nocomplain is not passed in and the removal fails, a Tcl error
is generated.
ns_truncate filename ?length?
Truncate a file to a specified length. ns_truncate causes the file specified by filename to have a size of length bytes. If length
is not specified, it causes filename to have a size of zero bytes. The file must exist and be a regular file.
ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename
Remove a file. ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If -nocomplain is not passed in and the removal fails, a Tcl error
is generated.
