Re: Reverse cut...

If you use the coreutils from http://alexautils.sourceforge.net/

(some docs at http://alexautils.sourceforge.net/text.html the package 
itself at 
http://alexautils.sourceforge.net/coreutils-4.5.3-alexa02.tar.gz)

the version of cut has many many extensions, including the one you're after.
Use :

cut -d/ +1

where the "+" means count from the end.
