I put your test into a file named "fil":
Code:
[mherring@mystical play]$ awk -F"/" '{print $8}' fil
boyd.log_2009-06-10T02:00:01.log<
This is printing the filename (+ the "<"), but you said you wanted the whole path.
This works:
Code:
[mherring@mystical play]$ sed -n '/archive/{s/<[^>]*>//g;s/file:\/\///p}' fil
/home/log/boyd/archive/boyd.log_2009-06-10T02:00:01.log
[mherring@mystical play]$
