sed copy paste

Hello,

I have this path and file:
/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/THIS_SPOT/fle.txt

I want to end up with:
/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/THIS_SPOT/fle.txt[tab]THIS_SPOT

Take the dir after the 10th slash, add a tab at the end and paste the dir it copied.

Thanks

echo "/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/THIS_SPOT/fle.txt" | awk -F/ '{print $0 "\t" $11}'

Try using basename and dirname.

This is kind of brute-force, but it seems to work. Note I'm using commas instead of slashes in the s command.

DIR="/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir"
echo ..... | sed "s,$DIR/\(THIS_SPOT\)/file.txt,&\t\1,"

This might be what you are actually looking for:

echo ..... | sed "s,/\([^/]*/\)\{9\}\([^/]*\).*,&\t\2,"

@scottn: maybe more precisely to print field NF-1:

awk -F/ '{print $0 "\t" $(NF-1)}'

Another one with sed:

sed 's_.*/\([^/]*\)/.*_&\t\1_'
