$basename (parse-spec) function

The portion of the word given by parse-spec is returned, where the returned portion is delimited by the last punctuation mark of the word (if any). If the parse-spec value does not return a word, the match specification is not matched. This function is especially useful in a nested specification. For a similar function that is useful for finding the base name of file paths, see fname-parse-spec-function.

The following examples show target strings, parse expressions, and return values:
