basename $filename will extract filename from a path. if you wish to extract the complete path use the commane dirname $filename.

dirname will not give the full path of the file. It will do the opposite (but in case of directories) . If a full path is given , then it will extract the directory name from it.

You can use basename

basename /ms/user/a/arunkumj/Arun/file.txt

file.txt as output

file1=`basename $0`
echo "$file1"

(or)

file1=`basename /home/user1/Jincy/base.ksh`
echo $file1
 
The above commands will give the outpuy as base.ksh

 if you just need the base of the file alone then try the below.
file1=`basename /home/user1/Jincy/base.ksh | cut -d "." -f1`

this will give you the output : base

Thanks,
