extract a part of a path like (input: /etc/exp/home/bin ====> output: exp)
Hi,
thanks for you help,
with this solution:
echo '/etc/exp/home/bin' | awk -F/ '{print $3}'
exp.
do you have another solution with sed command? because when a try your first solution in a shell script having 3 input parmeters, the {print $3} take another value.
now i'm looking for a sed command, if this command can solve the problem.
Thanks

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
