awk or sed command-line routine to solve this situation? 1

[ranadhir]

We hava data file which has entries in this format:
sap/base/parser/agent/wholeworld.cpp

These have to be converted into :
wholeworld.cpp|sap/base/parser/agent/
ie <filename>|<path>

This has to be done via command-line.
and we cannot do a hard-coded awk -F/ print{$NF "|" $0"/"$1.... etc.},as the path-name length will be different all over.

How can this be done ?
Even a sed-based command-line solution will suffice(leaner the better!!!!)

Any help would be appreciated

awk 'BEGIN{OFS=FS="/"}{base=$NF;$NF="";print base "|" $0}'

Hi

sed 's,\(.*/\)\([^/]\+\)$,\2|\1,' /input/file

Tested with GNU [tt]sed[/tt].

Another way in ksh-like shell:
while read f
do echo $(basename $f)'|'$(dirname $f)'/'
done < /path/to/input

Hope This Helps, PH.
