Extract particular text

I executed a following sed command
=> echo "a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h" | sed 's/\/[A-Za-z0-9]*$//g'
a/b/c/d/e/f/g

Now what if I want to extract "g" from "a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h" . That is second last string using SED.

Try...
Code:
basename $(dirname "a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h")

Try this:

Code:
$ echo "a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h" | sed 's!.*/\(.*\)/.*!\1!'
g
$

Hi Shell_Learner,

In awk it's bit simple as follows:

Code:
echo "a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h" |awk -F"/" '{ print $(NF-1) }'

might be needed for you in future Smilie
