I have the following script, which manipulates a string.

    #!/bin/bash

diry=$( find . -iname "cassandra.yaml" -exec dirname {} + )

dirgo=${diry:2}

echo $dirgo

cd $dirgo

this is the result:

cassandra@server:~$ pwd
/opt/cassandra
cassandra@server:~$ ./yaml.sh 
conf
cassandra@cads2001:~$ pwd
/opt/cassandra

Prints the directory, But it does not go into the directory.

Maybe i need another kind of variable.

regards.

Use `pwd` after `cd` command to see current directory. – anubhava Dec 14 '16 at 05:34
try `echo ${dir}go` . Good luck. – shellter Dec 14 '16 at 05:34
the find command may find your directory, but your current directory may not directly above the directory you found – transient_loop Dec 14 '16 at 05:35
I try use cd ${diry:2}, but nothing – ymk369 Dec 14 '16 at 05:36

I have the answer. Inside the script goes to the directory, and when finished it returns to the current directory. – ymk369 Dec 14 '16 at 05:58
