url manipulation - extract final /folder/ only from u
 

How does one extract the the final /folder/ name in a URL string of unknown
length and folder division which may come in in slightly different (albeit
identical results) as in the following:

For instance:

http://www.catamarans.com/charter/ba...peed/index.asp
www.catamarans.com/charter/bareboat/oceanspeed/
http://www.catamarans.com/charter/ba...eanspeed/?m=SM

I would wish to only get back:

"oceanspeed"

I would appeciate code examples on this. Many thanks.

sURL = Request.ServerVariables("URL")
aParts = Split(sURL, "/")
sFinalDir = aParts(UBound(aParts)-1)

I think that should work.
