With tcl I'm attempting to break apart Reports/Report#2.rpt and keep just Report#2.rpt ; I tried this approach, but it produced no output at all when I ran it :
set reportPath "Reports/Report#2.rpt"
set reportName [echo $reportPath |cut -d "/" -f 2]Extracting one section of a tcl string

crochet Permalink There's a built-in specifically for this task:
file tail(https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/file.htm#M38)!set reportName [file tail $reportPath]Avoid manipulating strings yourself here; platform differences introduce some complicated details. This built-in takes care of those awkward boundary cases on your behalf.
tibo19 Permalink crochet's suggestion of
file tailfits perfectly when stripping the directory portion off a pathname.For a "CSV" string whose separator is a slash, combine
splitwithlindexinsteadset reportName [lindex [split $reportPath /] end]
