Help me with cut part 2..
Hi,

I have this file name : xxx.77876767575.abc.77887.iiii

If to get only the xxx i will need to do this command:
i=xxx.77876767575.abc.77887.iiii
name=`echo $i |cut -f1 -d "."`

How do i get 77876767575.abc.77887.iiii without xxx in front?

Please advice.

Thanks

Pretty much the same as you are already doing but as:
cut -d "." -f2-

Hi, try the "reverse", ie

Code:
i=xxx.77876767575.abc.77887.iiii
name=`echo $i |cut -f2- -d "."`

which means, take fields 2 and forward
