I suspect about special character "_"(underscore) that comes in string.
I don't know what you are trying to achieve..

Code:
$ echo "LDC_100/rel/prod/libinactrl.a
LAA_2000/rel/prod/libinactrl.a" | sed 's:[^/]*/::'
rel/prod/libinactrl.a
rel/prod/libinactrl.a

From now on, when you post, please provide a complete description of your problem. A complete description includes not only the error message, but the complete command or script, the data necessary to replicate your result, as well as the operating system and shell used.

This is the minimum amount of information necessary for someone to determine if their environment is suitable for reproducing your problem. Without it, you're likely wasting everyone's time.

Even if we take all of your posts in this thread and consider them as one, it still does not meet these criteria.

And, please, also be similarly specific when responding to someone with, "Your solution is not working for me." Show the command, data, errors, etc...

Regards,
Alister
