[vox-tech] Shell Scripting Question: Getting a directory name from a 'find' result

[Richard Crawford]

Suppose I have a short script as such:

find . -name 'wwwboard.html' -print | while read i
do
  print $i
done

how can I pass the name of the directory where $i lurks to another
variable, such as $dir?
