Here is one way to do it...
The regular expression checks to see if the last character (the one prior to
$) is a slash.
my $dir = 'd:/abs/fez:';
if ( $dir =~ m/\/$/ )
{
print "Ends in a slash\n";
}
else
{
print "No slash\n";
}

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] extract the last character or a string
Hi,
How do you extract the last character of a string
I basically want to see if a list of directory strings have a slash at the
end
or not.
For eg if
$dir = 'd:/abs/fez';
I know can use the length function to get the length of $dir but how do I
extract the last character ie. z and then do my tests ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Kwabena
