Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting BASH: remove digits from end of string Post 302508488 by rethink on Monday 28th of March 2011 09:27:04 AM

thanks for replying panyam, the expected output would be 2 variables so for example with a string called

e1000g112001

I would have a

$DRIVER that has e1000g
$INSTANCE that has 112001

it becomes more difficult because as you can see, the driver name (in this case e1000g) has digits within it ... but one thing i know is that ALL drivers will end in a letter regardless of whether they contain a number.

So i think i need to do a pattern match of everything up to the last letter (which will be the $DRIVER variable) then everything after that last letter (which will be the $INSTANCE variable)
