See below ....
$vi a.sh
ab=$(pwd)
echo " "
echo "Current working directory is $ab"
FILE=$(basename $ab)
echo "FILE returns $FILE "
echo " "
ab=$(pwd)
echo "Current working directory is $ab"
BANK=$(dirname $ab)
echo "BANK returns $BANK"
echo " "
INFILE=${FILE}.${BANK}.$$
echo $INFILE
dam@athena:~$ ./a.sh

BANK returns /home
dam./home.11937

/home/dam.11937
