Re: Regex: Matching last of repeated character to end of string

[jbware]

What happens with your regex is it finds the first "/" it can, and then the ".*?" matches any character until the end. It sounds like you might want something more like this:

$xpathOther =~ s|/[^/]*$||;

This ensures that it matches on the last "/" it can find, and blanks it and everything after it out.
