Hi:

Thanks both guruprasadpr and RudiC.

I notice that on your responses, you look for the first '_' character to discard the rest of the text.

But I don't want to limit the first part of the name to not have a '_' character.

In example, I might have the following filename 'my_newapp_20121031_1021_1234.jar'.

>txt="my_newapp_20121031_1021_1234.jar"
>echo $txt | sed 's/_.*//'
my

>txt="my_newapp_20121031_1021_1234.jar"
>echo ${txt%%_*}
my

I need to keep the 'my_newapp' portion...

The point would be how to extract both the first portion of the text ('my_newapp') in one variable.
The last 23 bytes ('_20121031_1021_1234.jar') in a separate variable which I might need to parse into separate variables for further validation (Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, milli)....

Anyway, your replies are greatly appreciated.

Enrique
