If you are using KSH try the following. Its really easy to use.
path=`print ${parent%/*}`
filename=`print ${parent##*/}`
echo $path
/foo/bar
echo $filename
thing
In short the code for 'path' will print everything before the last /
The code for 'filename' will print eveything after the last /
It doesnt matter how many sub directories you have in the path name, it will always work.
Try it, Its probably one of my most used pieces of code!
Hope this helps
Helen
