Access elements of symbol in skill

Sandeep4386
corModelSpec = (("/home/bin/toplevel.scs" "top_sf"))
corModelSpec is of a type symbol. How can I access only second string out from this, so that my output will be top_sf.
 
I tried rindex but it doesn't quite give the desired output.
 
param_value=rindex(strcat(corModelSpec) "t") ;
println(param_value) 
 
Output: "top_sf\"))"
I would like to get rid of brackets and double quotes from the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks Andrew,
    Well I might now have clarified the issue well enough in my last post.
    I am trying to access all adexl corners and design variable and concatenate all of them in one string.  Here is a part of my code:
     
    i=0
    (foreach cparam corner->params()

                    (printf "\t\t %s = %L\n" cparam->name cparam->value)
    cparam_name=sprintf(nil "%s" cparam->name)
    sprintf(cparam_value "%L" cparam->value)
    Type=type('cparam_value)
    printf("%s type is %s \n" cparam_name Type)
    when(i==0
       cparam_total_new=""
     
    )  
    i++
    if(cparam_name!="corModelSpec" then
    sprintf(cparam_total_new strcat(cparam_total_new "_" cparam_name cparam_value))
    else
    println(cparam_name)
    println(cparam_value)
    cparam_value_modelfile=rindex(strcat(cparam_value) "top")
    println(cparam_value_modelfile)
    )
       )
    and here is the output:
     
     StartFreq = 800
    StartFreq type is symbol 
    corModelSpec = (("/home/specmod/models/spectre/toplevel.scs" "top_tt"))
    corModelSpec type is symbol 
    "corModelSpec"
    "((\"/home/specmod/models/spectre/toplevel.scs\" \"top_tt\"))"
    "top_tt\"))"
    temperature = 120
    temperature type is symbol 
     
    I think somehow sprintf is converting string to a symbol?
