This requires that I separate the property in 2 parts, the path and
the filename, so then since I already have the filename by itself
there's no need to parse it.
I need this for a <ant> call so I think the best solution is to
separate the property out as you suggestion and pass both parts into
the ant call. The fully qualified name is needed for a <copy> task
where the lonesome filename is needed for the Netscape signing tool.
This will solve my problem in the short run, but I still think it
would be nice to have a special property syntax to extract the parts.
Erik's suggestions are probably better than mine, but FWIW I was
thinking about something like $f{property} where each letter between
the $ and { stood for a part; f=filename, e=extension, p=path, and so
on. But that's not very readable.
