Question

This is what I used:

for i in `find some -type f -name *.class` 

I got:

some/folder/subOne/fileOne.class
some/folder/subOne/fileTwo.class
some/other/sub/file.class

next, I would like to get rid of the “some/” for each value of $i. What command can I use? Do I HAVE to save them into a file first?

Thanks

Answer 1

$ i=some/other/sub/file.class
$ echo ${i#some/}
other/sub/file.class

Bash has simple string manipulation built in. See also ${i%.class} and the basename and dirname commands.
