UNIX script to display the filename
Hi All
How to answer the below interview question..

PHP Code:
With a path and filename of  "/mydir1/mydir2/mydir3/myfilenane.dat" write a UNIX script to display the filename

This is a bit vague. It's not clear what they want...maybe just to strip off the path...

Suppose you have script that takes the path-filename as arugment 1
