sed question

Shell Programming and Scripting

I am having a issue try to remove a file path from results.

Here is a example of results
/opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs/switchmap/text/mac.map:xxxx-r01 0001.e611.6116 FastEthernet1/4

I would like the results to be
mac.map:xxxx-r01 0001.e611.6116

I am only able to remove one dir without an error.

 sed -e 's/opt/coolstack' -e 's/'

Any help would be appericated.

you need to mask the /, since it's a sed control character

sed 's/\/opt\/coolstack\/apache2\/htdocs\/switchmap\/text\///g'

other possibility:

echo "/opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs/switchmap/text/mac.map:xxxx-r01 0001.e611.6116 FastEthernet1/4" | awk -F \/ '{print $8}'

Edit: sry for doublepost

echo "/opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs/switchmap/text/mac.map:xxxx-r01 0001.e611.6116 FastEthernet1/4" | awk -F \/ '{print $8}' | awk '{print $1,$2}'

Perfect, thanks for all the help.

didn't see that space, in this case I would do it this way:

awk -F "/| " '{print $8,$9}'

one awk less
