Hi all,
I need to extract the name of a parent directory, not the whole path.
Combinations of dirname and cut didn't get me anywhere.
Given this: (the ... indicates that I don't know the dir depth)
/.../mydir/my.file
How would I extract this:
/.../mydir/my.file
^^^^^
TIA to all takers :)
a=$(dirname __file_)
b=${a##*/}
Example:
a=$(dirname /etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir.conf)
b=${a##*/}
echo $b
conf.d
