string3_string4.csv

$ echo testfile_string1_string2_string3_20100232to201130203.csv |sed 's/^[^_]*_//;s/_[0-9][^_]*\./\./'

gnome-cleanup

gnome-cleanup(1)						   User Commands						  gnome-cleanup(1)

NAME

       gnome-cleanup - cleans GNOME user preferences

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-cleanup user

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-cleanup erases all GNOME user preferences, returning the user to the default look and feel.  This can be used to undo undesired pref-
       erence settings, or to correct the desktop if the preferences become corrupt.  The GNOME preference files are automatically  recreated  the
       next  time  the	user  logs into a GNOME session.  By default this program erases the configuration files for the user running the command.
       However, a different user can be specified on the command line.	Of course, configuration files are only erased if the user running  gnome-
       cleanup has appropriate file permissions to erase the user's configuration files.

       gnome-cleanup  will  display a listing of all preference files that it will erase before erasing any files, and prompts the user to confirm
       that they would like to erase these files.  Files are erase only after receiving a positive confirmation from the user.

       gnome-cleanup cannot be run while logged into a GNOME session.  Users should run this program when logged into another session,	for  exam-
       ple, the Failsafe session. If the user tries to run this program while already logged into GNOME, an error message is displayed.

OPTIONS

       None.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       user	       Specify the user whose configuration files will be erased.  The files will only be erased if the user running gnome-cleanup
		       has file permissions to erase the user's configuration files.  This is useful, for example, if you want to run  the  script
		       as  the	root user to erase the configuration files for a specific user.  If user is not specified, the user is the same as
		       the user who runs the gnome-cleanup command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Erase GNOME user preferences

       example% gnome-cleanup

       After displaying a list of preference files that will be erase, the following question is displayed:

       Do you wish to remove these files (Y/N)

       The files are erase only if the user provides a positive response.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       >0	Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/gnome-cleanup  Executable for GNOME cleanup.
