string handle problem

Hi, I encountered a string handle problem and need help.
In my code, I have a string which value could be "a1/a2" or "a2/a3/a4"
or "a2/b3/c3/a5", now I hope to get the last sub_string after "/", for
"a1/a2", I need "a2", for "a2/a3/a4" , I need "a4", and for
"a2/b3/c3/a5", I need a5.

I knew I can use split command and then handle the list to get the last
one, but it seems a little complex, Is there an easy way to get it?
I'm thinking to use regexp, but regexp handle string in order from left
to right by default, I don't know how to change it to 'from right to
left'.

Thanks a lot.
