need to get the last word in comma sep line
I have a file with
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd,eee,xyz
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd,eee,xyz,12345,rty
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd,eee,xyz,12345,rty,tsrt

1. line columns are not fixed
2. all words are seperated by comma


what i want is always the string after last comma.

regards,
Senthil Kumar Siddhan.

.* - 0 or more characters
, - followed by a ','
\(.*\) - followed by 0 or more characters - \(...\) - sed's "capture"
\1 - print the FIRST "capture"

'man sed' for complete details.
