Urgent help needed - Shellcode

C0B01 · 04-21-2005, 02:17 PM

I'm in a bit of a ditch... I'm writting a portable shell script. The initial 3 arguments are in the format...

$ ./cpc -c fileName moveToThisNewFolder/newFileName

What I need is to break the single string "moveToThisNewFolder/newFileName" into two variables "moveToThisNewFolder" and "newFileName"

Im completly lost...?

I've been reading up on grep but still cant seem to get it...

Thanks!

You could use AWK or CUT.

moveToThisNewFolder=`echo $3 | cut -d "/" -f1`
newfilename=`echo $3 | cut -d "/" -f2`
