hi...how to retrieve xyz from the following path
C:\Documents and Settings\lostworld\Desktop\xyz.txt
well i read all string commands and i can work through specifying count or getpos.....but is their a way to detect last '\' ? so that anything after that can be retrieved in this case xyz.txt
if this is possible then is it possible now to get only xyz (excluding .txt)
