[Wtr-general] Need Regular Expression help with a URL string

[Paul Carvalho]

Okay, I give up.  I've worked on this for over an hour and I need more
experienced help.  (Web searches and book references haven't helped either.)

I have a URL in a string and I'd like to replace part of it but first I need
to find the part that I care about.  Here's an example of the string:

web_url = 'http://foo/bar.html'

Now, what I am trying to do is find the *last* forward slash (/) in that
string so that I can then replace everything after it.  I am having
difficulty finding that last slash though.

I am trying to use the   str[ regexp, int ]  function, but I can't seem
figure it out.

Can anyone help me with this regexp?  Once I get it I'll figure out what's
the best function for what I need to do.  Thanks.
