extract substring from string

[Hypertrophy]

if my string looks like this:

$string = "joe/bob/mathew/john"

and i do:

StringSplit($string, "/")

how do i extract the last substring (in this case john) i got from stringsplitting the above string using the searchstring "/"

think i found solution:

$string = "john/luke/matthew/paul"
$array = StringSplit($string, "/")
$i = $array[0]
MsgBox(0,"",$array[$i])

am i right?

StringSplit puts the substrings it finds in an array, with the total number stored in array element 0. So:

#include <String.au3>

Dim $stringarray[100]

$string = "joe/bob/mathew/john"
$stringarray=StringSplit($string,"/")
MsgBox(0,"",$stringarray[$stringarray[0]])

You could also use UBound, it doesn't really matter much

$string = "joe/bob/mathew/john"
$array = StringSplit($string, "/")
MsgBox(0, "", $array[UBound($array)-1])

You could make a combination, it doesn't really make sense

$string = "joe/bob/mathew/john"
$array = StringSplit($string, "/")

MsgBox(0, "", $array[(((UBound($array) - 1) * 2 + 18) / 2 - 9) ^ 2 / $array[0]])
