substring extraction

Comment:

I'd like extract information from a string that is anything after ".". for example, if I have: -c/rs/rs36/tap/config.76 I'd like to extract the info after "." which is "76" in this case. any help would be appreciated

There are any number of ways. Here are two: #!/bin/ksh string="-c/rs/rs36/tap/config.76" # 1 v=$(echo "$string"|awk ' BEGIN { FS="." } { print $2 } ') echo $v # 2 set - $(IFS="."; echo $string) echo $2
