Getting only the filename ??

[vij010]

I'm creating a player that allows you to have multiple files stacked and play anyone of them. The problem now is i need to get only the filename out of the string...like C:\music\samples\test.mp3".. need to only have test.mp3... how do u get that alone ?...not very cofident in loops and logic like this...

basically you use the backslash (\) as an item separator and pull the last item, which will be your filename.

i.e.

DefaultDelimiter = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = "\"
ActualFile = the last item of member("SourceFile").text
the itemDelimiter = DefaultDelimiter
member("Output").text = ActualFile


this example uses 2 fields and a button as a demo (attached)
