Hi Ralf: thank you for your response,
Instead of something cryptic like
printf "${PWD##*/}\n"
I would use
basename $PWD
or
basename $(pwd)
--------------------
Of course, I considered that! ;-)
Whatever your preference, my rationale for
${PWD##*/}
is found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1371261/get-current-directory-name-without-full-path-in-bash-script/1371283#1371283
"No need for basename, and especially no need for a subshell running pwd
(which adds an extra, and expensive, fork operation); the shell can do
this internally using parameter expansion ..."
Best, ...
