Parallel replacement string

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Using the following command, I can only get rid of the last extension from my input file name:

parallel command '>' {.}.output ::: my.input.file

The output file is "

my.input.output

"

How can I get rid of the last two extensions of my input file name, so that end up with "my.output"?

Thanks!

Can my.input.file be renamed to my.input ?

this is just an example. I have hundreds of input files.

You can put BASH expressions into parallel, so:

parallel 'VAR={.} ; VAR=${VAR/.*/} ; echo $VAR'

Test thoroughly before you write files, etc.

remove the .file from the my.input.file?

Doh, took too long to read the other thread.
