Found a super #bash cheatsheet https://devhints.io/bash

It includes parameter expansion/substitution stuff:

${FOO#prefix}
${FOO%%suffix}

which is very handy for trimming file extensions and creating output file names from input basenames etc. Which is stuff I do frequently enough to know there's a quick solution, but too rarely to remember the syntax
