Yeah right, it works, actually I was assuming a space btw * and /, therefor it failed here in first attempt. Sorry for not trying it without a space, as well as, OP seems to be of quite beginner level, I thought to post a new script because he was surely going to be confused of typing error by you for the variable name(str&m).

You are asking the same question again & again, it would be better for you to get understanding of whats going on, read the explanation which I have sent in my earlier post you'll find there how to extract last field based on a delimeter as well as for your last post it would be better to start a new thread, because it is not relevant to this topic. Start thread in Dummies & beginners forum not in advanced level forum.
