What’s wrong with the following code?
name="$filename | cut -f1 -d".''
As is, I get the literal string $filename | cut -f1 -d'.', but if I remove the quotes I don’t get anything. Meanwhile, typing
"test.exe" | cut -f1 -d'.'
in a shell gives me the output I want, test. I already know $filename has been assigned the right value. What I want to do is assign to a variable the filename without the extension.
