Question

In other words, would I need to do some string processing after invoking the Application.GetOpenFileName() Method?

Answer 1

I am using these functions for filename processing. The last one is the one you need here.

Public Function FilePathOf(ByVal s As String) As String
    Dim pos As Integer

    pos = InStrRev(s, "\")
    If pos = 0 Then
        FilePathOf = ""
    Else
        FilePathOf = Left$(s, pos)
    End If
End Function

Public Function FileNameOf(ByVal s As String) As String
    Dim pos1 As Integer, pos2 As Integer

    pos1 = InStrRev(s, "\") + 1
    pos2 = InStrRev(s, ".")
    If pos2 = Len(s) Then pos2 = pos2 + 1
    If pos2 = 0 Then pos2 = Len(s) + 1
    FileNameOf = Mid$(s, pos1, pos2 - pos1)
End Function

Public Function FileExtOf(ByVal s As String) As String
    Dim pos As Integer

    pos = InStrRev(s, ".")
    If pos = 0 Then
        FileExtOf = ""
    Else
        FileExtOf = Mid$(s, pos + 1)
    End If
End Function

Public Function FileNameExtOf(ByVal s As String) As String
    FileNameExtOf = Mid$(s, InStrRev(s, "\") + 1)
End Function
