I want to search for a symbol in a string backwards.. For eg: line = "my/cat/dog/baby" line.find('/') # but from the back... The reason I want to do this is because I want to print the last part of the string after the '/' . And I do not know how long the string might be or how many '/' it might have . I just want to print whatever is there after the last '/'. Thanks, Pratik
