General unix questions like this (not specifically related to system administration) should be asked on [unix.se] (or [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com) if they're basic programming) - this kind of "gimmeh teh c0dez" question isn't really on-topic for Server Fault. — voretaq7, Dec 04 '12 at 17:12

If you just want to extract the file, I would use File::Basename

perl -n -e 'print $1.$2."\n"if (/(.+\=)\/.+\/.+\/.+(\/.+)$/)' /localpath/file.txt > newfile.txt

Theres probably more elegant ways to do it.

 perl -ne '/(.*=).*\/(.*)$/ && print "$1/$2\n"' /localpath/file
