Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I am converting a .DBF file to pipe delimited file

my requirement is like

lets say my .DBF is residing in path /a/b/c/d/f/abc.DBF

I need my .txt file as
having a column with source _cd =f

sample data in .DBF in folder "f"
c1 c2 c3
1 2 3

in txt file it should be
c1|c2|c3|source_cd
1|2|3|f


i am suceeded in getting converted to 1|2|3
but having problem in how to get the Source_Cd from the path

Angel

Code:

 
path=$(pwd | awk -F\/ '{print $(NF-1)}')

Cna you please explain me this?

your file is in /a/b/c/d/f/abc.DBF

Code:

 
so pwd command gives the output as /a/b/c/d/f/abc.DBF

then you want to retrieve the folder name f.
 
-F\/ - field seperator is /
$(NF-1) - take the last before field

Or

Code:

path=$(pwd)
echo ${path##*/}
