PWD question : Current dir not full path

Hey Gang,

Dumb question I know.. But i can't nut it out.

pwd gives me

/home/work/test
/usr/files/386

I only want to know what dir i'm in. So answer is test or 386
I know I need to pipe this through SED perhaps but can't work it out...

Ideas?

Cheers, M.

Code:

pwd | awk -F/ '{print $NF}'

Also found

pwd | sed 's/.*\///'

works too.
Cheers, M.
