filling variable with ls

hello All,

Need some further help.

This will make my live easier. Instead of copy and pasting I think I can automate some website building.

when I do a ls from a directory I need the file names placed into a sentence.

it is going about wordts like:

word-AB-1234.jpg
zample-ZA-3452.jpg
etc etc

what I want is 2 variable's filled like

the first part text till the - and what start with the - and everything after that. Like:

VAR1=word
VAR2=-AB-1234.txt

this I want to place in another file with some text

the following script is working as it should be but I forgot that there where other thinks I had to look for. script below is removing the .jpg part because I was thinking that was enough but it isn't. I need something more complicated lke described above.

Code:

VAR2=.jpg
ls /share1 | cut -f1 -d '.'|
while read filename
do
echo "<a rel=\"[reference code: $filename]\" href=\"/images/album/birds/$filename/$filename$VAR2\">"
 
done > /root/sample.txt

Script wil look like the same only it needs te be working with 2 variable to get it working correctly.

who can help me further

regards Walter

libgphoto2_port

LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3)					  The gPhoto2 Reference (the man					LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3)

NAME

       libgphoto2_port - cross-platform port access library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gphoto2/gphoto2_port.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The libgphoto2_port library was written to provide libgphoto2(3) with a generic way of accessing ports. In this function, libgphoto2_port
       is the successor of the libgpio library.

       Currently, libgphoto2_port supports serial (RS-232) and USB connections, the latter requiring libusb to be installed.

       The autogenerated API docs will be added here in the future.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       IOLIBS If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2_port library looks for its I/O drivers (iolibs). You only need to set this on
	      OS/2 systems and broken/test installations.

       LD_DEBUG
	      Set this to all to receive lots of debug information regarding library loading on ld based systems.

       USB_DEBUG
	      If set, defines the numeric debug level with which the libusb library will print messages. In order to get some debug output, set it
	      to 1.
