Regexp to find first occurence in a string

[fyyap]

Hi

I would like to find a first occurence from last in a string.

For example, these are my entries:-

/IVR/directory1/vfs1/talkfiles/103/filename1
/IVR/directory2/vfs2/talkfiles/106/filename2.txt
/IVR/directory3/test/talkfiles/106/filename3.doc

Is there any regexp can help me to find my file names?

Thanks

use reverse
find the "/"
and reverse again

$fname="/IVR/directory1/vfs1/talkfiles/103/filename1";
$rfname=reverse $fname;
(@info)=split (/\//, $fname);
$filename=reverse $info[0];
[code]

$fullpath = "/some/dir/with/a/file";

# With a regexp
$fullpath =~ m{.*/(.*)};
$filename = $1;

#with split
@dirs = split(/\//, $fullpath);
$filename = $dirs[$#dirs];

You do not want to parse this yourself.

Use File::Basename

You feed it an OS type and the path and it will get you all the info you require.
