[H-GEN] Script E-book ?

[David Duffy]

Hi all,
I'm trying my hand at writing shell scripts to use on my Debian box. I
have experience in a few programming languages, and am looking for some
script tutorials.

I've searched online and have found enough examples and docs to get me
started (loops, if then, echo, exit, etc) but can't figure out how to
split a directory name into it's parts.

eg: From the directory "/foo/bar/" I want to just get "bar" (and add an
extension) so I can use that in my script as a filename.
