I am looking to extract a string from a URL. Here is an example to illustrate what I am looking for.

Input URL: <http://www.nba.com/bulls/stats/>
Output : bulls

In other words, I want to be able to extract the string between the second last and last "/" in the url. I know that I can split by "/" and extract the second last term, but am looking for a cleaner regex solution.

Any ideas?
