'man ksh' yields the following:
Code:
       ${name#pattern}, ${name##pattern}
              If pattern matches the beginning of the value of parameter name,
              the  matched text is deleted from the result of substitution.  A
              single # results in the shortest match, two #'s results  in  the
              longest match.

       ${name%pattern}, ${name%%pattern}
              Like  ${..#..}  substitution, but it deletes from the end of the
              value.
