Exclamation URG!! Last position of a character

Hi.
If I have files with names like abcd.20080625.1234.abc.XYZ abcd.20080625.1234.abc.XYZW

how can I get the XYZ or XYZW part? is there something like an Index() function but in reverse order?
I was thinking that if I can get the position of the last dot (.) I can use substr, but i dont know how to get the last position of a character.

Thanks
