If I have a text file full of pathnames, like:
/var/log/folder1
/var/log/folder2
/home/todd/mydir
/var/log/folder1/fileh
/var/log/folder1/foldersub/fileh
...etc, what's the regular expression to find where a string has exactly
two (or however many) forward slashes to the left of it? I have a 360,000
line list of path names, and I'd like to find where a certain string falls
early in the path. I'm really only interested in paths where it's in the
top three or four directories.
