Put partial text

[Alvin Bakker]

Hi,

Reading from the registry I get a string like "C:\Program
Files\Abobe\Illustrator\illustrator.exe".

set installtypeOverview= dosReadReg(gRegistryRoot, gRegistryPath,
"InstallType")

put installtypeOverview

After printing the whole string, I also want to print the last part of the
string "illustrator.exe" in the message window.

How can I do this? Can anyone help me with a script that finds the last
slash and puts everything after it?

Thanx in advance....

Alvin

set the itemdelimiter to "\"
the last part of your string will then be:

string.item[string.item.count]
