How to remove double forward slashes using sed

I have text file that contains some URLs such as this one:

https://home.ggg.com/
http://zzz.aaa.net

I want to remove the http:// or https:// part from the beginning of each line using sed command but my problem seem in that I do not know how to write the // in the command. It seems needs some additions and not to be written as it is // EDIT: please not that some starts with http:// while others with https://

This might work for you (GNU sed):

sed 's/\<http\(s\|\):\/\///' file

however this is clearer:

sed -r 's#\<https?://##' file

Use a different separator:

sed 's|https\?://||' filename

or

sed -r 's|https?://||' filename

The s is optional here, so it'd remove both http:// and https://.

Use the g modifier if you could have more than one pattern in a given line: 's|https?://||g'
