Using dbg/2 [1]:

  # In dbg_pipes.exs
  __ENV__.file
  |> String.split("/", trim: true)
  |> List.last()
  |> File.exists?()
  |> dbg()

This code prints:

  [dbg_pipes.exs:5: (file)]
  __ENV__.file #=> "/home/myuser/dbg_pipes.exs"
  |> String.split("/", trim: true) #=> ["home", "myuser", "dbg_pipes.exs"]
  |> List.last() #=> "dbg_pipes.exs"
  |> File.exists?() #=> true
