shell 单词末尾家字符,如何得到一个shell字符串的最后一个字符？

I have written the following lines to get the last character of a string:

str=$1

i=$((${#str}-1))

echo ${str:$i:1}

It works for abcd/:

$ bash last_ch.sh abcd/

/

It does not work for abcd*:

$ bash last_ch.sh abcd*

array.sh assign.sh date.sh dict.sh full_path.sh last_ch.sh

It lists the files in the current folder..

That's one of the reasons why you need to quote your variables:

echo "${str:$i:1}"

Otherwise, bash expands the variable and in this case does globbing before printing out. It is also better to quote the parameter to the script (in case you have a matching filename):

sh lash_ch.sh 'abcde*'

Also see the order of expansions in the bash reference manual. Variables are expanded before the filename expansion.
