Nadav, nadav, nadav - this is over-obtuse. Let's try the other way :-)
---cuttez---
marc@hyena:marc/$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
marc@hyena:marc/$ which gcc | rev | cut -f 2- -d"/" | rev
/usr/bin
---cuttez---

ch, basicly, says - take the returned string, if any, turn it over, chop
off its head, turn it over, return it...

But, I must admit, the expr games are quite... errr... esoteric ;-)...
