I think its trying to expand the variable and since that variable is not intialized it is
replacing it with a BLANK.
see below

sssss

Why then doesnt it work with echo ?

See below ....

$vi a.sh
ab=$(pwd)
echo " "
echo "Current working directory is $ab"
FILE=$(basename $ab)
echo "FILE returns $FILE "
echo " "
ab=$(pwd)
echo "Current working directory is...

Why doesnt echo output the contents of the file abc.txt as shown below ?

chid@athena:~$ cat abc.txt

I have read every possible thread here on unix certification.

I was looking for a suggestion as to which is a reasonable certification in terms of price and familiarity in the market.

All...

at the prompt and if you are in the current directory do the following

./filename

Thanks for the reply

could you please explain to me what this means

. \( ! -name . -prune \)

directory name = /usr/tom/1997

files -
ABC_1997_ST1_BCD.SQL
BCD_1997_ST1_EFG_SAB.SQL
TTT_EBC_1997_ST1_A.SQL

sub directory - /usr/tom/1997/jan

a) I want to just rename the all files...

Are you spooling the file like this below..?

>>spool c:\SOMETHING_SOMETHING&&filedate.csv

then

Try

c:\SOMETHING_SOMETHING&&filedate..csv

You need to use two dots.

function date_diff
{
integer _dt1=$(date_to_num ${1:?})
integer _dt2=$(date_to_num ${2:?})
integer _ndt=0
if [[ $_dt2 -gt $_dt1 ]]
then
((_ndt=_dt2-_dt1))
fi
print -- $_ndt
}

...

Can anyone please explain what the difference is between these two commands

typeset - ?

export - i know with this even child process can read the variable

Declare - ?

i use bash shell
