I hope that answers your questions, please let me know incase additional info is needed.
thanks again.
No. On Solaris systems, the slash character (
/) separates components in a pathname and the backslash character (
\) is used to escape any special meaning of the following character to the shell, as an escape character in a string in a C program when your filename is encoded as a string in your program, or as an actual character in a filename. From what you have shown us we have no way to determine what you are trying to do.
If you believe that slash and backslash are interchangeable in a shell script, in a pathname, or in a string constant in programming languages like C, C++, and Java; you are severely mistaken. Finding a backslashes and slashes in various files on a Solaris system does not mean that they are interchangeable.
If you're unwilling to show us how a parameter is set and what its name is, there is no way we can tell you how to use that parameter in a
sed script.

dirname
BASENAME(1) BSD General Commands Manual BASENAME(1)
NAME
basename, dirname -- return filename or directory portion of pathname
SYNOPSIS
basename string [suffix]
basename [-a] [-s suffix] string [...]
dirname string
DESCRIPTION
The basename utility deletes any prefix ending with the last slash '/' character present in string (after first stripping trailing slashes),
and a suffix, if given. The suffix is not stripped if it is identical to the remaining characters in string. The resulting filename is
written to the standard output. A non-existent suffix is ignored. If -a is specified, then every argument is treated as a string as if
basename were invoked with just one argument. If -s is specified, then the suffix is taken as its argument, and all other arguments are
treated as a string.
The dirname utility deletes the filename portion, beginning with the last slash '/' character to the end of string (after first stripping
trailing slashes), and writes the result to the standard output.
EXAMPLES
The following line sets the shell variable FOO to /usr/bin.
FOO=`dirname /usr/bin/trail`
DIAGNOSTICS
The basename and dirname utilities exit 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
csh(1), sh(1)
STANDARDS
The basename and dirname utilities are expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
