Extract file basename without path and extension in bash?

Question

Given file names like these: /the/path/foo.txt bar.txt I hope to get: foo bar Why this doesn't work? #!/bin/bash fullfile=$1 fname=$(basename $fullfile) fbname=${fname%.*} echo $fbname What's the right way to do it?

Answer 1

Try the following:

#!/bin/bash

full="/one/two/three/four.txt"

name="${full##*/}"

base="${name%.*}"

echo ${base}
