Hi Guys,

I've found the solution for this as below:
Code:
   echo $file | awk ' {
 
       z = split($1, name, "-")
 
       DirName=name[1]
 
       for (i = 2; i <= z; i++) {
 
           if ( name[i] == name[1] ) {
 
               print DirName
 
           }
 
           else {
 
               DirName = DirName "-" name[i]
 
           }
 
       }
 
   }'


Splitting the elements of the filename into an array. Then loop through each element - if it doesn't match the first element, concatenate it to a variable holding the directory name. If the element matches the first one, print out the directory name.
