VSCode snippet transform to determine the containing directory

Question

I've been unable to determine the transform to use to grab the directory that a new file is in from the TM_DIRECTORY that VSCode exposes?

i.e. For a path like c:\a\b\c\d\e I would like to get e as the output. I also have linux co-works so it should also work for something like /mnt/a/b/c/d/e

Try this snippet:

"stripLastDirectory": {
    "prefix": "lsd",
    "body": [
      "${TM_DIRECTORY/.*[\\\\|\\/]+(.*)/$1/}"
    ],
},

I am unable to test that on Linux but it should work on all OS's.
