title: Linux command line: split a string
body: <p>I have long file with the following list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/message.c//add_b1()
  /drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-dvb.c//dvb_init()
  /sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c//snd_ac97_mixer_build()
  /drivers/s390/char/tape_34xx.c//tape_34xx_unit_check()
  (PROBLEM)/drivers/video/sis/init301.c//SiS_GetCRT2Data301()
  /drivers/scsi/sg.c//sg_ioctl()
  /fs/ntfs/file.c//ntfs_prepare_pages_for_non_resident_write()
  /drivers/net/tg3.c//tg3_reset_hw()
  /arch/cris/arch-v32/drivers/cryptocop.c//cryptocop_setup_dma_list()
  /drivers/media/video/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-v4l2.c//pvr2_v4l2_do_ioctl()
  /drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c//aty_init()
  /block/compat_ioctl.c//compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl()
  ....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It contains all the functions in the kernel code. The notation is <code>file//function</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I want to copy some 100 files from the kernel directory to another directory, so I want to strip every line from the function name, leaving just the filename. </p>
  
  <p>It's super-easy in python, any idea how to write a 1-liner in the bash prompt that does the trick?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
