Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help with a sed replacement expression. I'm trying to express only the filename from a filepath, i.e., whoopie.txt from /opt/dev/whoopie.txt. Basically I'm reading the files that changed into a temp file, and reading each line into a variable to split out the base filename to act upon. I tried using the following, but it still gives me the entire string: #!/bin/bash BASEDIR="/opt/dev"; echo $BASEDIR | sed "s/$BASEDIR\///" This gives me back the entire original string. And I also tried the following sed statement: echo $BASEDIR | sed "s/^.*\([^/]+\)$/\1/" This gives me back nothing at all Thanks for any help! -- "Dingo" Dave Bartmess Broomfield, CO.
