Re: A better way? Extracting filename from url

[Caillte]

One way would be :

$subject="http://www.spied.co.nz/thinmailer.cgi";
$subject=~ s/.*\/([^\/]*)$/$1/;
print $subject

What this does is return the last block of code that does not contain a backslash, from the last backslash to to the end of line.
