I have a filename in a format like:
system-source-yyyymmdd.dat
I’d like to be able to parse out the different bits of the filename using the ‘-‘ as a delimiter.
You can use the cut command to get at each of the 3 ‘fields’, e.g.:
‘-d’ specifies the delimiter, ‘-f’ specifies the number of the field you require
