extracting only postcode and lsoa code - sparkql

Question

I am trying to write some sparkql to extract postcode data and marching lsoa codes. what I have so far extracts all the url for both the postcodes and lsoa codes, when I would like just the last unit. How do i get just the last elements please?

query <- "PREFIX pc: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/postcode/>
      PREFIX geo: <http://opendatacommunities.org/def/geography#>
      SELECT * WHERE { 
      ?postcodeUnit
      a pc:PostcodeUnit;
      geo:lsoa ?lsoa .
      }
      limit 10"

   endpoint <- "http://opendatacommunities.org/sparql"
   resultList <- SPARQL(endpoint,query)
   head(resultList)

I am also concerned when i get this working, R studio will time out, do i need to run this from a web server? please

Thanks in advance

If the way URIs are generated is standard, you can just turn the results into strings and then take only the part that is needed:

PREFIX pc: <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/postcode/>
PREFIX geo: <http://opendatacommunities.org/def/geography#>
SELECT ?postcode ?lsoa
WHERE { 
  ?URI_postcodeUnit
  a pc:PostcodeUnit;
  geo:lsoa ?URI_lsoa .
BIND (STRAFTER((STR(?URI_postcodeUnit)),"postcodeunit/") as ?postcode)
BIND (STRAFTER((STR(?URI_lsoa)),"lsoa/") as ?lsoa)
  }
  limit 10
