How to get file name from a full path
-
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
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
