Question

I need to get the name of a file from its full path, in vc++. How can I get this? I need only the file name. Can I use Split method to get this? If not how can I get the file name from the full path of the file?

Answer 1

String^ fileName = "C:\\mydir\\myfile.ext";
String^ path = "C:\\mydir\\";
String^ result;
result = Path::GetFileName( fileName );
Console::WriteLine( "GetFileName('{0}') returns '{1}'", fileName, result );
