Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Real-time scenarios where VARIABLE SUBSTITUTION/EXPANSION is useful Post 302946368 by Chubler_XL on Monday 8th of June 2015 06:14:50 PM

I tend to use ${variable%pattern} most frequently to remove extensions from filenames. Second most common usage is probably splitting up strings (date or time strings for example):

year=${date%%[/ -]*}
day=${date##*[/ -]}
month=${date#*[/ -]}
month=${month%[/ -]*}
