dirname /PATH/PATH/PATH/filename.txt | awk -F"/" '{print $NF}' should do it.

Hi all,
I need to extract the name of a parent directory, not the whole path.
Combinations of dirname and cut didn't get me anywhere.
Given this: (the ... indicates that I don't know the dir depth)
/.../mydir/my.file
How would I extract this:
/.../mydir/my.file
^^^^^
TIA to all takers :)
