How do I get just the last element of the current

Suppose basedir = dira/dirb/dirc. (Or any path for
that matter.)
   

Whatever is "the current directory"--${user.dir}?
${basedir}?... You can use the basename task to get
the last element of a path.
 

I have used basename for filenames without realizing that it also works 
for directory names.
Thanks.

I need a property to = "Dirc". (1st character
uppercased, if possible.)
   

Changing case is more problematical.  I would either
try ant-contrib's propertyregex (though I'm not good
with changing case in regular expressions either),
write something in Java, or deal with the case as-is. 
Others might use a script.
 

Thanks. I need to explore regex, I guess.
For the pros out there it should be 123, but for
me... forget it!
   

HTH,
Matt
 

Thanks
