I have a bunch of lines similar to the following generated from an rpm spec file using grep:

%{_libdir}/wine/odbc32.dll.so

I want to trim off the front part %{_libdir}/wine/ and the back part .dll.so leaving only the base name of the file. All the lines have exactly the same front and back parts so I can do an exact match. I'm trying to figure out if I can do the removal in one shot or if I need two passes to do this, but right now about the only thing I know about sed is that it exists and is used for stuff like this. Trying to use GNU info pages is a recipe for headaches. Is there a simple reference for sed anywhere other than the O'Reilly sed & awk book? Or, since this is a one-off project, can someone give me some hints?

s/^.*\/\(.*\)\.dll\.so$/\1/
GNU sed version 4.1.5
