Meaning of different operator.. This might help you to understand about %% and ##
Operator "#" means "delete from the left, to the first case of what follows."
$ x="This is my test string."
$ echo ${x#* }
is my test string.
Operator "##" means "delete from the left, to the last case of what follows."
$ x="This is my test string."$ echo ${x##* }string.
Operator "%" means "delete from the right, to the first case of what follows."
$ x="This is my test string."
$ echo ${x% *}
This is my test
Operator "%%" means "delete from the right, to the last case of what follows."
$ x="This is my test string."
$ echo ${x%% *}
This
Now come to your example.
Code:
file1='Jane Mid Doe.txt'
newfile='Jane.txt'
1) ext=${file1##*.}
## delete from left to last match. so here pattern is '*.' so left to right last match will give txt. ( it deletes Jane Mid Doe. ). Now ext = txt
2) filename=${file%%.???} ( I think here its not file, its file1).
%% right to left to last match. and ? matches single character
so filename will Jane Mid Doe
3) set -- $filename
This is to set the $filename as an environment. so you can access through $1, $2.. variables.
now $1 - Jane , $2 - Mid and $3 - Doe
4) newfile="1.$extension"
so in this statement you have to change 1 to $1
