This definitely works, but i suspect the printing routine to give formatted output. If the number of blanks varies because, for instance, a two-digit value has one leading space more than a 3-digit value ("-234" vs " -23" - don't know if they are possible at all) your line might fail. I suggest a slight modification therefore (replace "<spc>" by a blank and "<tab>" by a literal tab character):

@bakunin: You're absolutely right re. the unreliable number of spaces (e.g. one would ecpect the energies to be in field 6 rather than -f8 for cut). I kept it on the simple side, your sed proposal is much safer here (would be field 6 then, btw).
@hmartine1983: as you obviously only want entire lines, try this (shamelessly borrowing aashish.sharma8's proposals):
output 1:
will result in the 16 lines requested.
These rely heavily on data structures being fixed as shown in your example; any deviation might need more sophisticated analysis in the way bakunin pointed out.
Hey,
examples of the input (text line):
/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/blabla.rar
/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/blabla23124.bin
/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla/bla.bin
and what I need to do is extract/select only the dir path so the output would be:
/bla/blMOasdn234.adanif24/

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
