hello,
I am using VB6. i have a string that contains a path + file name.
such as c:\temp\some folder\myFile.zip.
what is the best way to get the myFile.zip?

thanks





Someone will likely post a function to do it but if you
want to figure it out yourself, Use InstrRev() to find
the character position of last backslash, "\", then
use Mid$ or Right$ to get the filename.
