Regarding regexp command

Hello,

I'm reviewing a tcl script, and for this line:

Code:
regexp {(\S+)\/[^\/]+$} $string match $catch

if,$string == ab123c/de456f/try99/zxy

is there any possibility that $catch == ab123c/de456f/try99 ?

or it must only be $catch == ab123c/de456f/try99/zxy ?

Please advise. Thanks
