Hi All,
I am writing a shell script for which I am stuck with an extraction part.
I arrived till extraction of a path of file. Lets take an example.
I now have a file which contains following one line:
2348/home/userid/mydir/any_num_dir/myfile.text
Now I want to extract only "/home/userid/mydir/any_num_dir/" part of the string. Note that initial number can be anything, any number if digits.
To simplify the problem statement, I want to extract from a line, only part which is between first "/" and last "/", test should be ignored.
I need this because I want to change directory to /home/userid/mydir/any_num_dir/
Please help.
Thanks!
