Shell Programming and Scripting

H,
I
I have this below script for removing the full path from a string which is indeed a filepath location if windows.
It converts input
\abc\asssh\abc
To
abc


But if filename has 0 like:
\abc\abc\00000Hgg
Then its typing
abc00000Hgg

PLEASE note that its solaris.
Script is:
more convertname.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
str=$@
echo $str | sed 's/.*\\//'
exit 0

Strange!

You can use basename to get the last part of a path.

As sh means sh in Solaris, that's probably the easiest approach.

Edit: Seing that it's backslashes, not forward slashes, basename might not cut it, but I don't understand if those are normal (ASCII) zero's why sed would behave this way.

Edit 2: Duh! Because sed treats \0 as a Null character!

Edit 3: That was a duh @ me, not a duh @ you

See if this works for you

Code:

str=$@
echo "$str" | tr -s '\' ' ' | nawk '{print $(NF)}'

Try using double quotes..

Code:

#!/bin/sh
str=$@
echo "$str" | sed 's/.*\\//'
exit 0

@Jim

I think we can directly do like this also(Don't know is there any problem with Solaris)

Code:

echo "$str" | nawk -F '\' '{ print $NF}'

The easiest way would be to do this:

Code:

$ echo ${str##*\\}
00000Hgg

Not in sh in Solaris it wouldn't

Any solution guys!
