UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

Does anyone know a more efficient way of writing the below.

exe=`echo ${testversion} | cut -d/ -f1,6 | cut -d@ -f1,2`
exe=`echo ${exe%@*}`
exe=`echo ${exe#*/}`

the variable testversion is in the following format:

/clearcase/test/pfs/bin/pfs0007f.fmx@@/main/20

I need the 'pfs0007f.fmx' bit only. This is always in between the 1st '@' and the '/' before that.

I'm a newbee!!

Thanks everso,

Cath

Try:
exe=${testversion%%@*}
exe=${exe##*/}
