Removing Slashes with Sed 2

[Cimm]

Is there any ways to do this?
I am trying to format a text which contains paths.

I would like to do this with sed if possible.
But any other suggestions are welcome.

For example

/usr/local/test/log.txt

wanted output

test/log.txt

Thanks for the help.

[tt]
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS="/"}{print $(NF-1),$NF}' infile
[/tt]

That works like a charm.
Thanks

And the sed way:
echo /usr/local/test/log.txt | sed 's!.*/\([^/]*/[^/]*\)!\1!'

Hope This Helps, PH.

Actually, the path /usr/local/test/log.txt is in the output file. (several of them)

I want to find the matching path "/usr/local/" and remove it
so the output will be test/log.txt

/usr/local is harcoded ?
sed 's!/usr/local/!!g' /path/to/input > output

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks.
That works too.

I was trying all kind of combination with

s/ //g

but once I put in a / to find and delete it failed.

so ! has to be used for finding / and remove it?

 

[PHV]

If you insist on the / for pattern separator:
sed 's/\/usr\/local\///g' /path/to/input > output
