I got it. Thanx.

Here is the command.

CURR_ENV=`echo $0 | xargs -i expr {} : '\(.*devl\)' \| {} : '\(.*stage\)' \| {} : '\(.*prod\)' \| "Invalid." : '\(.*Invalid.\)' | xargs basename`

$CURR_ENV will contain the string "devl" or "stage" or "prod" if the shell script is in a directory that contains one of those words.
$CURR_ENV will contain the string "Invalid." if the shell script is NOT in a directory that contains "devl" or "stage" or "prod".

dirname

basename(1)							   User Commands						       basename(1)

NAME

       basename, dirname - deliver portions of path names

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/basename string [suffix]

       /usr/xpg4/bin/basename string [suffix]

       dirname string

DESCRIPTION

       The  basename  utility deletes any prefix ending in / and the suffix (if present in string) from string, and prints the result on the stan-
       dard output. It is normally used inside substitution marks (``) within shell procedures.

   /usr/bin
       The suffix is a pattern defined on the expr(1) manual page.

   /usr/xpg4/bin
       The suffix is a string with no special significance attached to	any of the characters it contains.

       The dirname utility delivers all but the last level of the path name in string.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Setting environment variables

       The following example, invoked with the argument /home/sms/personal/mail sets the environment variable NAME to the file named mail and  the
       environment variable MYMAILPATH to the string  /home/sms/personal:

       example% NAME=`basename $HOME/personal/mail`
       example% MYMAILPATH=`dirname $HOME/personal/mail`

       Example 2: Compiling a file and moving the output

       This  shell  procedure,	invoked  with  the argument /usr/src/bin/cat.c, compiles the named file and moves the output to cat in the current
       directory:

       example% cc $1
       example% mv a.out `basename $1 .c`

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect  the execution of basename and  dirname:  LANG,  LC_ALL,
       LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
