Substituting a word by different word in variable
Hello Exprets,

I have a requirement where i have to subtitue a word with another word.
Code:
$eachline| sed 's/[^/]*$//'

a) $eachline will hold a value a path
for example
Code:
user/oracle/Test_admin/myfolder/bakup/part_bkptemp_part_bkp_repeated/list.txt

b)
Code:
$eachline| sed 's/[^/]*$//'

will give me the value like
Code:
user/oracle/Test_admin/myfolder/bakup/part_bkptemp_part_bkp_repeated/

removing the last word

my requirement is
Code:
some_unix_command($eachline| sed 's/[^/]*$//')

so that output will come as
Code:
user/oracle/Test_admin/myfolder/bakup_new/part_bkptemp_part_bkp_repeated/

here i am replacing backup by backup_new


Please let me know if i am not clear.

thanks you in advance

GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)						   OpenGL Manual						 GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)

NAME

       glSampleMaski - set the value of a sub-word of the sample mask

C SPECIFICATION

       void glSampleMaski(GLuint maskNumber, GLbitfield mask);

PARAMETERS

       maskNumber
	   Specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update.

       mask
	   Specifies the new value of the mask sub-word.

DESCRIPTION

       glSampleMaski sets one 32-bit sub-word of the multi-word sample mask, GL_SAMPLE_MASK_VALUE.

       maskIndex specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update, and mask specifies the new value to use for that sub-word.
       maskIndex must be less than the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS. Bit B of mask word M corresponds to sample 32 x M + B.

NOTES

       glSampleMaski is available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater, or if the ARB_texture_multisample extension is supported.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if maskIndex is greater than or equal to the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS.
