Error Need help with basename command

I have a file

fileinput.txt:
Code:
File home/me/fileA.doc is size 232
File home/you/you/fileB.doc is size 343
File /directory/fileC.doc is size 433
File /directory/filed.doc cannot find file size



I want to use the basename command (or any other command) to output:

Code:
File fileA.doc is size 232
File fileB.doc is size 343
File fileC.doc is size 433
File filed.doc cannot find file size



I've tried:

Code:
/usr/bin/nawk ‘ file=$0
            Basename $file ‘ fileinput.txt 



But that just prints out the original file! Any suggestions?
