I have a string like this:

nathan/has/no/brains

My problem is, I need to but that string up so only "brains" is available.
Problem is, the string is different everytime. Sometimes it may be 2 words=
=20
seperated by / or it may be 15 words seperated by /

The only similarity between every string, is I only want the LAST word from=
=20
each string.

How do I do that?


nathan/is/brain/dead            I want dead
my/computer/is/not/helping      I want helping
this/sucks                              I want sucks

get it?
How can I accomplish this with bash? I know there is a way to count how
many fields there are using / as a delimiter, but I can't remember how
to do it!!!

help?
