separate file and path in bash?
Solution 1:
You can't. But you can do them separately.
$ foo=/usr/local/bin/bar
$ echo "${foo##*/}"
bar
$ echo "${foo%/*}"
/usr/local/bin
Solution 2:
I would suggest dirname and basename:
for file in `find /my/path -name "*.ext"`
do
path="$(dirname "$file")"
onlyfile="$(basename "$file")"
# ...
done
