Question List the files without directory path

Hi

I am writing a script to find the list of files in dir1 and my script is place in dir2

while doing ls of files dir1 it is displaying with path. I would like to omit the path and display the only file name so that I can pass it to my script as arguments.


for filename in $datafiles/*.dat
#cat $filename |
do
echo "in for loop $filename "
grep -i "dummy file" $filename > /dev/null || echo $filename >> temp
if [ -s temp ]
then
touch checkfile
fi
done

This script is taking the path also .


Any help Appreciated


Thank you
Madan

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
attributes(5) WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.10 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
