I’m trying to alert the filename from a upload input.

Here’s my fiddle

It works, but there’s the “C:Fakepath…” something like that.
I just want the filename, without the Fake path. I tried using the split function, but I’m not sure why it’s not working.

Example html:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Test Page</title>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="file" id="tester" />
    </body>
</html>

Example script:

$(function() {
    var bogus;
    var triple;
    $('#tester').change(function() {

        triple = $('#tester').val();
        bogus = triple.split(/[\s/]+/);

        alert(bogus[bogus.length - 1]);
    });
});

​
Any idea?

Thank you!

    You can just escape the slash:

       bogus = triple.split("\\");
