Cutting

Hi,

Hide like to extract the name and file verion of a tarball from its fil=
e
name in a bash script.

Example: mysql-5.1.15.tar.bz2

I want to get only the "mysql-5.0.15" part.

How can i get this.
Note: the number of dots, varies.
Example: qmail-1.03.tar.gz

Only has one dots before the "tar.gz".
MySQL has two.

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm regards,
M=E1rio Gamito

If the name is in a variable, e.g. $file, then:

$ file="qmail-1.03.tar.gz"
$ base="${file%.tar.gz}"
$ echo "$base"
qmail-1.03
