Call partial file name in a linux script

Question

I have several files: one_001_three.txt, one_002_three.txt, . . .

After removing the extension, I would like to call it such that:

    ${fname}_001

would call the file 'one_001'

Any ideas?

Can you clarify your requirement better, it is not clear what you want. — anubhava

fname=one; echo "${fname}_001" produces one_001... Or perhaps you want something more like x=one_001_three.txt; fname=${x%%_*}? It's really not clear... — twalberg
