in reply to Using Split function.

The approach that I was thinking was similar to ig's but used the $#array construct rather than the index -1 that ig used. I like ig's much better as it shortens the construct to a single line of code to get the answer.

My approach suggestion was:

my @separated = split(/\//,$path);
my $answer = $separated[$#separated];

However, as I noted, ig's solution is much more elegant and efficient.

    ack,

    Did you read my question? Understood clearly?

    In my question,I told that I was using the temporary array and using the $#array_name to get the last element from the array. You also side the same thing.

    Spelling mistakes corrected
