Apr 18, 2010So if I'm given a location of a file like:
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type.

Apr 21, 2010Here's the bash script:

Notice the extra" file size" lines in there? What's causing that? I'm trying to learn more bash skills. I have no experience with awk because I have been unable to understand it's basic necessity. But I thought maybe if I try it with some test scripts I might become more interested in using it more and expand my very limited capabilities.

Jul 3, 2011I'm not used to using "sed", but I need to use it to extract part of a string piped to it.
However, the "1" mentioned in the tutorials I read doesn't extract the token between the two brackets and returns the whole input string:
Code:

I expected simply "myfile.txt".
