substr() thru awk Korn Shell Script
Hi qneill,

Thanks for your time to review my post.

I knew I am not clear myself because I am not a techie person.

This morning, I reviewed the Similar Thread section and found a solution to separate the file name fields using the awk command.
For example, a file named “XXXX.12345.YYYY” must be changed to “XXXX.12345”.
The echo result of the command line as echo “XXXX.12345.YYYY” | `awk -F. ‘{print $1}'` is “XXXX”. However, I need to use the same command line above for combining the first two fields of the file named “XXXX.12345” Is there a way to show the results of the first two fields of the file name?

Thanks,
sbryant
