Is it possibe to use sed for the following? I would like to truncate the output of a directory path if it's over 3 directory levels deep. For example:
/dir1/dir2/dir3 -- NO change required
but,
/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 would output as ~/dir4

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.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
