You may use PathFindFileName() like this:

TCHAR \*szPath = \_T("C:\\\\Program Files\\\\codeproject.txt");
AfxMessageBox(PathFindFileName(szPath));

#include <Shlwapi.h>; #pragma comment(lib, "shlwapi.lib") LPTSTR lpszFileName = PathFindFileName(szPath);

I think I have got the answer:_splitpath

MSDN Says: _splitpath is deprecated because more secure versions are available, see _splitpath_s, _wsplitpath_s.

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. strrchr returns a character pointer. :)
