To make clear what I'm looking for I put it in python code:

def shorten_path(path, len):
... return '/.../' + '/'.join(path.split('/')[-len:])
...
shorten_path('/home/leo/leo/Test/abc',2)
'/.../Test/abc'
Can this be done in (La)TeX?
Yes, but it involves magic. This post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2402354/split-comma-separated-parameters-in-latex
describes how to split on commas and this one on spaces
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12810/how-do-i-split-a-string
They can both be adapted.
