Question

params[:svn_path] is returning an URL like this

http://svn.repos.mywebsite.com/testingtitle.documents

Now I need to get only the last part of the url that is testingtitle.

How to we get it?

Thanks in advance

You can use Uri module of ruby

uri = URI.parse("http://svn.repos.mywebsite.com/testingtitle.documents")

path = uri.path #"/testingtitle.documents"
path_with_no_slash = path.gsub("/", "") #"testingtitle.documents"
array = path_with_no_slash.split(".") #["testingtitle", "documents"]
result = array[0] #"testingtitle"
