Removing characters from a string
I need help to strip out the first two characters of the variable $FileName. Please help.

FileName=`find . -mtime +0 -name '[A-Z]*'`

Contents of variable $FileName:
./SRIZVI4.MCR_IDEAS_REPORT.LAST.052705.075405.csv

I want to strip out "./" and place the contents in another variable. How do I do that. THanks.

tiffreadrawstrip

TIFFReadRawStrip(3TIFF) 												   TIFFReadRawStrip(3TIFF)

NAME

       TIFFReadRawStrip - return the undecoded contents of a strip of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

       tsize_t TIFFReadRawStrip(TIFF *tif, tstrip_t strip, tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION

       Read  the  contents  of	the specified strip into the (user supplied) data buffer.  Note that the value of strip is a ``raw strip number.''
       That is, the caller must take into account whether or not the data is organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).  To read a full
       strip of data the data buffer should typically be at least as large as the number returned by TIFFStripSize.

RETURN VALUES

       The actual number of bytes of data that were placed in buf is returned; TIFFReadEncodedStrip returns -1 if an error was encountered.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
