Getting a part of string in tcl

I’m trying to split the following string : Groups/Group#1.rpt to get only the word Group#1.rpt using tcl ; I did the following but the output was empty :

set verifyFile "Groups/Group#1.rpt" 
set verify_file_name [echo $verifyFile |cut -d "/" -f 2]

Answer

This is a job for a specific built-in: file tail!

set verify_file_name [file tail $verifyFile]

Don’t use string manipulation directly for this; there are some complex nuances on different platforms. This command handles all the tricky edge cases for you.
