Hi, Hide like to extract the name and file verion of a tarball from its file 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, Mário Gamito - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
