I want to get the last part of a path (a string). For example:

string="/programs/tests/helloWorld"

I need to get only the "helloWorld" part in another variable. How can I do that?

Edit: It didn't work. I do the same but with the pattern "/" but it returns only the "/". Do you know how to get the text betwen the "/"?

or you could do this to get it.

string="/programs/tests/helloWorld"
local file = string.match(string, "/(%w+)$")
