[RESOLVED] trim path from filename

[Amerigo]

I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". if I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories.
I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type. Any ideas?

    Private Sub trimname()
        Dim filelabel
        split = current.Split("\")
        filelabel = Trim(split(1))
        Elbow1.ButtonText = filelabel
    End Sub

Use System.IO.FileInfo and get the fileName from there

Dim MyFileInfo As New System.IO.FileInfo("YOUR FULL PATH")
MyFileInfo.FileName will give the name.

Use the FileInfo class:

Dim filepath as string = "C:\blah\blah2\blah3\blah4\test.txt"
Dim FI as new IO.FileInfo(filepath)
 
Dim NameWithoutPath as String = FI.Name

try this:

Dim fullPath as string = "c:\xyz\dcf\test.txt"
Dim fileName as string = IO.Path.GetFileName(fullPath)

try this:

Dim fullPath as string = "c:\xyz\dcf\test.txt"
Dim fileName as string = IO.Path.GetFileName(fullPath)

Agreed.
