I know that this has a bad title, but I'm not sure how to sum it up well.
(And I'm new to Linux in general, so please excuse any incorrect terminology )
Anyway, I'm trying to create a script that gets whatever folder you're in, and then does a command with that directory as an argument. I guess that it would be easier to show you than explain.
I want it to do a pwd command, and then just get that last folder (ie /home/alberte/study would translate into just study) and then put that on the end of a system command.
Now, I figured that I would be able to do this properly in bash, so I started out with this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
pwd | sed 's_/_\
_g'
I would then pass this into a text file, look at the top two lines, and if there was text in the second line, it would delete the first line (eventually removing everything except the last folder). But then I realized that you couldn't do this with sed (or at least, I don't think it can). Talking with a friend, he directed me to perl, seeing as it would be easy to do text parsing, so heeding his words, I checked out perl.
Well, now, I can get perl to easily return the last word that was passed into it (ie "script.pl this is a test" would just print out "test"). So I figured that I could just call the perl script from the bash, and then I would be set. So, these are my scripts right now:
Well, that really doesn't work. It looks like the Perl script isn't seeing this as arguments, but rather something else.
If any of you could point me in the right direction (even tutorials that feature this would be great), it would be very much appreciated. I've been working on this off and on for a few weeks, and I'd just like to get this done. Thanks for any help that you give in advance.

gst-complete
gst-complete-0.8(1) User Commands gst-complete-0.8(1)NAME
gst-complete-0.8, gst-complete - perform bash completion for gst-launch command lines
SYNOPSIS
complete -Cgst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
gst-complete [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]
DESCRIPTION
gst-complete-0.8 enables bash to provide context-sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. See gst-launch(1) for the syntax of
gst-launch command lines.
You must have a version of bash that supports programmable completion. Such versions of bash provide the complete built-in command.
gst-complete is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X. For example, if both gst-complete-0.7 and gst-
complete-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-complete runs gst-complete-0.8.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-complete-0.8 and gst-complete:
--help Display detailed usage message. You can also use -? to specify this option.
The following options are supported by gst-complete only:
--gst-list-mm List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.
--gst-mm=string Force major/minor version. This option enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
default version.
--print Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating the Registry of Available Plugins by Running gst-compprep
Run the following command in your .bash_profile or other appropriate place:
example% complete -C gst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
Example 2: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name
example% gst-complete --print
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.8
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.Executable for bash completion for gst-launch
/usr/bin/gst-complete Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X
