This is probably pretty simple butI'm not sure how to best go about it.
If I have
FILE="myBigLongFileName_1.xls"
FILE_PREFIX=`echo $FILE| cut -d"." -f1`
# that gives "myBigLongFileName_1"
All i want to do now is chop the "_1" from the end of $FILE_PREFIX
Any ideas anyone? (3 Replies)

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
