Sed split directory

Comment:

lets say pwd is "/u/mchi/test" How do I use sed to get the value test? Here is what I tried and none returned test. 1) pwd | sed 's/*[a-zA-Z]\///g' /u/mchi/test 2) pwd | sed 's/[a-zA-Z]\///g' /test Thanks, Mike

Do you know that the unix basename command returns what you are asking for: basename $(pwd) Also, the ksh/bash pattern matching operators can perform the same task: var=$(pwd) echo ${var##*/} However, if you insist on a sed solution: pwd|sed 's,^.*[/\\\\],,g'
