basename: Show only the file name from a path, with a suffix removed.
$ basename ${filename} ${suffix}
try on your machine
The basename command is used to output the filename portion of a given path, removing any leading directory components. It can also remove a specified suffix from the filename.
In the command basename ${filename} ${suffix}, ${filename} and ${suffix} are placeholders representing the actual values of the variables.
For example, if filename is set to /home/user/docs/file.txt and suffix is set to .txt, the command basename ${filename} ${suffix} will remove the directory component (/home/user/docs/) and the suffix (.txt) from the filename and output just the base name file.
