Unix Directory
Hi,

Unix -Hp
In my Korn Shell script my argument is : /HomeDirectory/reports/filename.ps

How can I extract from this argument only the directory without filename and extension ?


Thanks,

Lightbulb Unix -Hp Directory.
Thanks for the help and the answer is :

NAME=$(dirname /home/faubertr/reports/text.ps)

faubertr:/home/faubertr>echo $NAME
/home/faubertr/reports


not exactly what's showing in examples from the man page.
