Cutting a string based on the third occcurence of a character
Hello,
I am new to unix hence struggling with my requirement.
I have a string like :

ECR/CHQ/GBP/12345.out

I need to get only the ECR/CHQ/GBP portion of the string(cut the string based on the third occurrence of / )...How do it do it?

Many thanks
