This will get you into trouble anyway if the file name contains
whitespaces... try to use a simple "ls" instead.
Anyway, assuming the filename doesn't have whitespaces, and since you're
ignoring the preceding fields anyway, just look for the last bunch of
non�whitespaces at the end of line:
ereg("([^\s]+)$", $dirline);
this should return "fantasy" for both cases you sent.
