How to get last part of http link in Bash?

Extracting filename from path string
1 answer
I would like to get the name of the last folder in a path for use in bash script.
For example: I have a path /media/devicename/folder1/ I would like to get a variable called foldername that has in it the word folder1. If I do sed 's//.*/$//' /media/devicename/folder1/ that matches the entire line. How can I limit the regular expression to only the first occurrence of the backslash?
This question is a little different than How to get last part of http link in Bash? and Extracting filename from path string because I am trying to get the last folder not file or http link which have a different pattern (For those sed 's//.*// !' should work too.) Basename is what I was looking for.
