Hi,

What if you do not know how many sub-string will produce after split?

I want the last sub-string.

Actually I want to parse the tree structure of file system.

Input :-

/home/hello/temp1/temp2/temp3

Output :-

temp3

There might be less height of tree.

Could you guys please help me out to do this?

Thanks,
Saurabh
