RE: String Manipulation: get filename out of path
Use the GetFileFromPath() function. There are a very large number of helpful CFML functions built right into the main CFML application servers--as soon as you can find the time, read through them a bit.

RE: String Manipulation: get filename out of path
Getfilefrompath() Extracts the filename from a fully specified path. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 2:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: String Manipulation: get filename out of path I have this string, C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\Inherent\mich_state_bar\PDFS\userguide.pdf I want to parse out the name of the pdf.

Re: String Manipulation: get filename out of path
i was going to say listLast() as well...but getFileFromPath() (as suggested by everyone else so far) sounds like the better option. Either will work, but if I'm looking at my code later and see a getFileFromPath(), I'm going to know exactly what that snippet of code is doing.

I assume that getFileFromPath() uses System.getProperty (file.separator) to parse the string, which would be more portable than listLast(). -- Joseph Lamoree ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:247813 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I wrote a custom tag back in the CF 4 days to do exactly what I later found out was already handled by GetFileFromPath() DOH! =) Rick ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:247819 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
