What platform are you on? This MIGHT be doable using the [file tail]
command, or some other variant of file..



I think it should work regardless of platform. Remember that Tcl
normalises file paths to slashes on all platforms.


Though, while it would likely work, it would yield code that is slightly more difficult to understand. As a general rule, one should avoid using commands on a datatype that were designed for some other datatype, just because they happen to work.
