Hi Kshitij,
From your description above I have no idea which lines it is that you want to delete. In the first problem you presented in this thread you only wanted to remove characters from the end of each line. Now that you want to delete some lines, we need a clear specification of which lines you want to delete.
If you just want to remove another "/" character and the non-"/" characters from the ends of every line, I have already shown you how to do that. Why don't you show me how you would modify the code I suggested to delete the last two "/" characters and the non-"/" characters following them from the end of every line. Assuming that every line has at least two "/" characters (as in your example), there are at least three easy ways to do that.
If some lines might only contain one "/", you need to decide whether you want those lines to be changed at all (removing only the last "/" and the characters following it) or if you don't want to make any changes to a line if there aren't at least two "/" characters on the line. The way to do what you want to do depends on what it is that you want to do and on the data that you will be processing.
