I have this code
archive_name=`echo -n "${fromarchive}" | tr -c '[:alnum:]' _`
` is the key under Esc key and ' key is next to enter key.
fromarchive value is archivename-201006021514.34.tar.gz
I want to strip the suffix -201006021514.34.tar.gz from the archivename.
The archivename can be upper and lower case letters interspersed with _
Do I have syntax problem with the code? I get no error on it.
Do I have the tr command coded correctly?
Or should I be using something else instead of tr command?
Help please.
