Can someone tell me the regex pattern to match everything to the right of the last / in a string.

For example, str=red/white/blue;

I'd like to match blue because it is everything to the right of the last /.

Many thanks!

Use the $ metacharacter to match the end of a string.

In Perl, this looks like:

my $str = 'red/white/blue';

my($last_match) = $str =~ m/.*/(.*)$/;

Written in JavaScript, this looks like:

var str = 'red/white/blue'.match(/.*/(.*)$/);
