Remove prefix, with prefix specified in variable

Question

This question is related to this one.

I have this variable:

var=/myprefix/something/something-else

And this prefix:

prefix=/myprefix/

I want to remove the prefix. We can do this in a non-greedy way as follows:

echo ${var#/myprefix/}

Which gives:

something/something-else

as expected. How can I use the prefix variable instead of hard-coding the prefix?

Answer 1

What about:

echo ${var#${prefix}}

Here you have some documentation, and here the bash manual.
