s.getfilename([file] [ext])

Parameters

s - str variable.

file - full path of a file or folder. Default: s.

Tips

There are many Windows API functions that can be used to work with paths and URLs. For example, PathFindExtension. Documented in MSDN Library.

Example

str s1.getpath("c:\folder\test.txt")
str s2.getfilename("c:\folder\test.txt")
str s3.getfilename("c:\folder\test.txt" 1)
 now s1 is "c:\folder\", s2 is "test", s3 is "test.txt"
