Ok, I can't find anything in the archives, and things I've tried from "man ksh" hasn't helped.
I have a string like this: outbox/08925485US00\200306131322.out.sent
I'm trying to split it out so I get the part between the \ and the .out. I've tried:
IFS=\\ ; set - $line ; unset IFS
IFS="\" ; set - $line ; unset IFS
IFS="\\" ; set - $line ; unset IFS
$line contains the above string, what I want should be in $2, along with the .out.sent, which I can clean later. The second version didn't work at all, as I expected...it just quoted out the quote, throwing the script into conniptions.
Any ideas?
