hi guys!!!

I have small problem..

I need to seprate the path and the file name

E.g

/u01/app/oracle/LONDON/admin/logs/abc.txt
/u01/app/admin/log/abc.txt
/usr/app/oracle/app/admin/logs/CRP/abc.txt

I want to seprate the abc.tx and the path and store them in variables.

If my path was not dyamic i thought of using and implementing following logic

PUNEET=/u01/app/oracle/LONDON/admin/logs/abc.txt
export PUNEET
echo $PUNEET|cut -f7 -d/ which will give me abc.txt

however now my patch is dynamic,so i can't implement it

Please advice,,,,

Puneet

1) This has NOTHING to do with Oracle.
2) If you can't read & learn from man pages, maybe you should stick to GUI where you don't have to think too hard.
