bash bleg

[gusl]

If you have a 'file' variable containing a whole path the a file, how do I get just its filename?

How does one iterate through space-separated strings in a big string? (I suspect this uses 'split' to create an array of strings)

What is a good bash scripting reference? http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ is not the answer I'm looking for.
