Regular Expression	Can't Post

Is there a way to find the last name (here: Name3) of the following XML Tag?

1. "One-Two-Three" is a variable string separated with minus-sign
2. /Name1/Name2/Name3 is a variable path and can have any path length and any path names separated with slash

Code

<TAG DEST="One-Two-Three">/Name1/Name2/Name3</TAG>

Code

use strict; 
use warnings; 
my $string = '<TAG DEST="One-Two-Three">/Name1/Name2/Name3</TAG>'; 
 
my ($name) = $string =~ m/[\/]([^\/]+)<\/TAG>$/; 
 
print $name, "\n";

Good Luck,
Bill
