Possible Duplicate:
How do I extract a file/folder_name only from a path?

May I ask you how I can get the last subdirectory of a path.
For example I want to get the subdirectory “7” and the following code fails:

Path <- "123\\456\\7"
Split <- strsplit(Path, "\\") # Fails because of 'Trailing backslash'
LastElement <- c[[1]][length(Split[[1]])]

Thank you in advance

    You could also use the built-in function basename:

    basename(Path)
    [1] "7"
