Re: split string and always get last word

[revdiablo]

Your strings look like paths. If this is the case, you can make your code nicely portable by using File::Spec. Example:

use File::Spec;

my $path1 = "./t2";
my $path2 = "/alex/samsung/t2";

my $end1 = ( File::Spec->splitdir($path1) )[-1];
my $end2 = ( File::Spec->splitdir($path2) )[-1];

print "Found $end1 at the end of $path1\n";
print "Found $end2 at the end of $path2\n";
