Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried the sed but this doesn't work, it just simply chops off the slashes. Meanwhile I'm unsure what you mean by basename $0 and how do I incoporate it on the command line i.e.
$basename $0 ?????
Meanwhile, the path I keep getting is:
/.autofs/adler01/home/mypath
BUT
I only want the local path i.e. /home/mypath
Thanks

basename
basename(3C) Standard C Library Functions basename(3C)
NAME
basename - return the last element of a path name
SYNOPSIS
#include <libgen.h>
char *basename(char *path);
DESCRIPTION
The basename() function takes the pathname pointed to by path and returns a pointer to the final component of the pathname, deleting any
trailing '/' characters.
If the string consists entirely of the '/' character, basename() returns a pointer to the string "/" .
If path is a null pointer or points to an empty string, basename() returns a pointer to the string "." .
RETURN VALUES
The basename() function returns a pointer to the final component of path.
USAGE
The basename() function may modify the string pointed to by path, and may return a pointer to static storage that may then be overwritten
by a subsequent call to basename().
When compiling multithreaded applications, the _REENTRANT flag must be defined on the compile line. This flag should only be used in mul-
tithreaded applications.
