Read and apply Command Line arguments (Parameters); use next code snippet in a .bat or .cmd script:

for %%g in ("https://vimeo.com/library/courses/angular-series") do echo %%~nxg

Of course, instead of ECHOing resulting string, you could save it to a variable:

for %%g in ("https://vimeo.com/library/courses/angular-series") do set "_URL_leaf=%%~nxg"
echo %_URL_leaf%

Output from cmd command prompt:

==> for %g in ("https://vimeo.com/library/courses/angular-series") do @echo %~nxg
angular-series
