How to get file name from a full path
-
Since you want to use API (Windows SDK), the function below meets your need. But
CFileis even convenient for you though.BOOL GetFileInformationByHandleEx(
HANDLE hFile,
FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS cls,
LPVOID info,
DWORD bufsize
);
// ...
FILE_NAME_INFO MyStruct = {0};
bool b = GetFileInformationByHandleEx(hFile, FileNameInfo, &MyStruct, sizeof(FILE_NAME_INFO));

OK, Thank you Maxwell Chen :) Both of the ways you suggested are convenient. But the question is all of them need a file HANDLE. I just want to get the filename given its fullpath.

You can use the CFileFind CFileFind cf; cf.FindFile("C:\\Program Files\\codeproject.txt"); cf.FindNext(); CString strFileName = cf.GetFileName(); Rgds Abhay..

Suppose the full path is :
C:\Program Files\codeproject.txtI want to extract the file namecodeproject.txt. Of course I can use CString class to find the last '\', and then Mid to get the filename, but is there some API can do this daily job? Thank you :)A Chinese VC++ programmer
Though some API's have been mentioned above by our codeproject friends, u can also write such functions. If u know 'C' language very well and ofcourse, its basics (people having lot of experience also doesn't know the basics), u can easily write such functions. Though u got the API, still I'll strongly recommend u to try writing such function.

I do have written a function to do make the job done, but I still want to know is there some exist functions can do this job for me. :)

If basics are not clear and don't have confidence, then better don't write (such simple function) and drop the programming profession.

cool man..I just said one truth regrding the programming field. How ever I still remeber one bug while trying to extract the file name from path. We were extracting the file name by reverse finding the "\". But later a bug was reported and reason was that, in one secnario in the path input to that function, instead of "\", seperator was "/" :(

Write no code and you'll have absolutely no bugs. :-\

You may use
PathFindFileName()like this:TCHAR \*szPath = \_T("C:\\\\Program Files\\\\codeproject.txt"); AfxMessageBox(PathFindFileName(szPath));Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero .·´¯`·->Rajesh<-·´¯`·. Codeproject.com: Visual C++ MVP

Hi, char szFilePath[MAX_PATH] = {"C:\\Program Files\\codeproject.txt"}; char szFileNameOnly = strrchr(szFilePath,'\\'); if(szFileNameOnly) szFileNameOnly++; now szFileName points to "codeproject.txt" i think this works fine for u.

Good, but a small correction.
strrchrreturns a character pointer. :)Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero .·´¯`·->Rajesh<-·´¯`·. Codeproject.com: Visual C++ MVP
