Re: dir / file split

Hi,
should be OK...

$file_path =~ /(.*)\/([^/]+)$/;
[download]

(update: Explanation: the second means: one or more of everything but a slash up to the end of the string.)

if you are even more paranoid ;-)

note: for the string "foo/bar/" the OP's RE will match ("foo/bar",""), but your will not match at all. Also there's no need to worry about greedyness in the OP case: the backtracking for "foo/bar/cuz" will start tring to match "foo/bar/cuz" then "foo/bar/cu", "foo/bar/c" and so on till "foo/bar", which allow to finish correctly the RE in that order. `use re 'debug';` could help Oha	[reply] [d/l]
