Thank you for your tutorial!
There’s one thing I see missing: If you use bash, you can do quick string operations in variables:
A=abc123foo.txt
strip suffix: echo ${A%.txt} # abc123foo strip suffix with globbing: echo ${A%foo*} # abc123
strip prefix: echo ${A#abc} # 123foo.txt strip prefix with globbing: echo ${A#*c} # 123foo.txt
Thanks, that's really useful!
