I might suggest using awk instead. -F sets the delimiter. NF is the
number of fields on a line. NF-1 would be the second to the last
field on the line.
echo /one/two/three | awk -F/ '{print $(NF-1)}'

You are probably looking for basename. It was designed for just your
case.
basename /one/two/three
three
