For maximum portability assume FS to be something simple. However, since the world has gone Linux (gawk)... realize that FS can be a single character or if not, then it's a regex. So... you want:

Code:
echo '/a/b/c+/d' | awk -F'/c[+]/d$' '{print $1}'

Which returns:

Code:
/a/b

SYNOPSIS

The geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region(3) function will return the time zone corresponding to a country and region code combo. In the United States, the region code corresponds to the two-letter abbreviation of each state. In Canada, the region code corresponds to the two-letter province or territory code as attributed by Canada Post. For the rest of the world, GeoIP uses FIPS 10-4 codes to represent regions. You can check http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4 for a detailed list of FIPS 10-4 codes. This function is always available if using GeoIP Library version 1.4.1 or newer. The data is taken directly from the GeoIP Library and not from any database. PARAMETERS
