Searching in str backwards

[Pratik Khemka]

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
