I've searched and i couldn't find anything relevant to what i am looking to do

i have Path information that i need to trim down so that i only see the first 4 sections after the "/"


Example of a Path within a cel
/aa/prod/bb/LCI/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar
/aa/test/bb/phxRDS/phxRDSUAT1RuleApp/deploy.05082018/RDS_rule.ear


what i need to have displayed in a new cel
/aa/prod/bb/LCI/
/aa/test/bb/phxRDS/

Thanks in Advance

Ok, you obviously don't have the new functions yet, try
Excel Formula:
=REPLACE(A2,FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"/","^",5))+1,100,"")
