read a string from its end to its start and stop when you find a specific character
How can I do this? Actually I have a file which contains a path
e.g.
/home/john/Music/hello.mp3
and I want to take only the filename (hello.mp3) So, I need to read the file from its end to its start till the character "/"
Is this possible?
Thanks, I am sure you'll not disappoint me here!
Oh, yes, you are the best!

anydata::format::mp3
AnyData::Format::Mp3(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation AnyData::Format::Mp3(3pm)
NAME
AnyData::Format::Mp3 - tied hash and DBI access to Mp3 files
SYNOPSIS
use AnyData;
my $playlist = adTie( 'Passwd', ['c:/My Music/'] );
while (my $song = each %$playlist){
print $song->{artist} if $song->{genre} eq 'Reggae'
}
OR
use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
$dbh->func('playlist','Mp3,['c:/My Music'],'ad_catalog');
my $playlist = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
SELECT artist, title FROM playlist WHERE genre = 'Reggae'
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a tied hash interface and a DBI/SQL interface to MP files. It creates an in-memory database or hash from the Mp3
files themselves without actually creating a separate database file. This means that the database is automatically updated just by moving
files in or out of the directories.
Many mp3 (mpeg three) music files contain a header describing the song name, artist, and other information about the music.
Simply choose 'Mp3' as the format and give a reference to an array of directories containing mp3 files. Each file in those directories
will become a record containing the fields:
song
artist
album
year
genre
filename
filesize
This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules. Refer to their documentation for further details.
