But the dots aren't related - one is a command to source a file, and the other is part of the pathname (and there's one in the basename as well! ).
EDIT: Why is having two extra characters to type such an issue anyway? If it's something you do on every session, why not run it from your .profile (or whichever shell equivalent)?

Hi there.
How do I make the DB connection see the parameter variables passed to the unix script ? The code snippet below isn't working properly.
sqlplus << EOF
user1@db1/pass1
BEGIN
PACKAGE1.perform_updates($1,$2,$3);
END;
EOF
Thanks in advance,

basename
basename(1) General Commands Manual basename(1)Name
basename - strip directory names from pathname
Syntax
basename string [ suffix ]
Description
The command deletes from string any prefix up to and including the last slash (/) and the suffix (if specified), and prints the result on
the standard output. The command handles limited regular expressions in the same manner as metacharacters must be escaped if they are
intended to be interpreted literally. For example:
% basename /vmunix .x
vmun
% basename /vmunix '.x'
vmunix
In the first example, returns because it interprets the as a regular expression consisting of any character followed by the letter In the
second example, the dot is escaped; there is no match on a dot followed by and returns
The command is often used inside substitution marks (` `) within shell procedures.
Examples
The following example shell script compiles the file and moves the output to in the current directory:
cc /usr/src/bin/cat.c
mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
The following example echoes only the base name of the file by removing the prefix and any possible sequence of characters following the
period in the file's name:
% basename /etc/syslog.conf '..*'
syslog
