Truncate folder path
Hello,

Given below are 2 sample paths from 2 different servers:

/opt/temp/PROD/Script/New/Letters

/opt/Share/temp/Share1/PROD/Script/Files/New/Letters


I would like to truncate the path till the folder "PROD". Please note that the field count of the folder "PROD" vaires from server to server


The output I would like to get for the above 2 examples:

/opt/temp/PROD/

/opt/Share/temp/Share1/PROD/



Thanks,
Nishanth
