Need to extract a folder from a full path

Hi everyone,

I have different folders which looks like this:

/mnt/ecrm/master/ecrm/templates/brochure/de_DE/zeitlos.ott
/mnt/ecrm/master/ecrm/templates/mail/en_US/default.html
/templates/header_and_footer/en_US/default.txt

I want to get the bold text only in a variable. I already have a regex prepared:
(\w+(?=\/\w+_\w)) => Get me the word before /anyword_anyword (here: de_DE or en_US)

But I don't know how the implement that into a bash shell script. I tried sed, which doen't support advanced regex and I am too stupid for awk.

Help?Smilie

ALTER 
COLLATION(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation ALTER COLLATION(7) NAME
ALTER_COLLATION - change the definition of a collation SYNOPSIS
ALTER COLLATION name RENAME TO new_name ALTER COLLATION name OWNER TO new_owner ALTER COLLATION name SET SCHEMA new_schema DESCRIPTION
ALTER COLLATION changes the definition of a collation. You must own the collation to use ALTER COLLATION. To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the collation's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the collation. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any collation anyway.) PARAMETERS
name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing collation. new_name The new name of the collation. new_owner The new owner of the collation. new_schema The new schema for the collation. EXAMPLES
To rename the collation de_DE to german: ALTER COLLATION "de_DE" RENAME TO german; To change the owner of the collation en_US to joe: ALTER COLLATION "en_US" OWNER TO joe; COMPATIBILITY
There is no ALTER COLLATION statement in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
CREATE COLLATION (CREATE_COLLATION(7)), DROP COLLATION (DROP_COLLATION(7)) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 2014-02-17 ALTER COLLATION(7)
