    I actually dont want to use \w ,would it be possible for you to suggest soemthing generic ,meaning ,whatever is present betwen the last "/" and .plf should match including the .plf

    INPUT: //tools/scripts/script_rev1.1.plf //tools/scripts/fil&es_data.plf

    OUTPUT: script_rev1.1.plf fil&es_data.plf
