Extracting email address using basename

Is it possible to use a variable as the delimiter using basename?

I have a num variable that will be changing in the filename now.
The files could looke like this

my.email.address@mydomain.com.VL010600_474
my.email.address@mydomain.com.VL020600_474
my.email.address@mydomain.com.VL030600_474
my.email.address@mydomain.com.VL040600_474

I'm tryin to loop thru and use a variable for the delimiter.

delim=".VL0$num0600_474"
email=`basename $f $delim`
echo "email = $email " >> /home/myname/xls.logfile

When I look at the email variable, it has the delimiter tacked on to it instead of just the email address.

I really appreciate all the suggestions.

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
