Hi,

Wonder if you could help me.

Easiest way is to use the Path class in System.IO

Dim s as String
s = System.IO.Path.GetFileName("c:\test\test.txt")

Another solution

You can also manipulate the string. Its not as short as GetFileName but you might find these functions useful in other situations as well.

        Dim TempString As String, FileName As String
        Dim FullPath As String = "C:\My Folder\My File.txt"

        TempString = StrReverse(FullPath) Returns "txt.eliF yM\redloF yM\:C"
        TempString = Split(TempString, "\")(0) Returns "txt.eliF yM"
        FileName = StrReverse(TempString) Returns "My File.txt"
