Or for cut command

[msen]

CustDirNam=`echo $OutFile|cut -f1 -d.||cut -f1 -d_`

If this right ?

 

[PHV]

Try something like this:

CustDirNam=`echo $OutFile|sed 's![._].*!!`

Hope This Help

PH, please explain the sed expression that you posted above. Not familiar with it. Thanks.

 

[PHV]

pavNell,

's![._].*!!`
s    substitue
!    pattern delimiter
[._] either point or underscore
.*   any character until the end of string
!!   empty replacement string

Anyway:

man sed

Hope This Help
