In a bash script you may need to take a string and remove the prefix/suffix. Heres how to do it.
string="hello-world"
prefix="hello-"
suffix="-world"
first_word=${string#"$suffix"}
echo $first_word ### Output: hello
second_word=${string%"$prefix"}
echo $second_word ### Output: world
Sorry the solution is so ugly, its just the way it is with bash scripts.
