Extract filename out of absolute path

[junior1025]

Hi,

I got a list of URL's( Absolute Path's) from which I have to return only the list of filenames ( Relative Path's).

Ex:
AbsolutePath -- C:/Programfiles/hello/abc.txt

I need to pull the RelativePath --- abc.txt.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

We aren't telepaths. You have to give us more information. What language are you using? Do you just want the filename or do you want the relative path from where the code is executing from?

If this is a one time thing, just use Excel, and split by "/", or do a wildcard find/replace.

Iam sorry!

It is in Java.
I need only the files names.

Please tell how todo in either cases.

Thanks.

Then I will move this over to the Java forum.

If you have the URLs stored in strings then here are 2 options off the top of my head.

First you could use the split method of the String class to split the url using / as a delimiter.

Otherwise you could use the substring method starting at lastIndexOf('/') +1.

you mean the filename...

String path = "C:/Programfiles/hello/abc.txt";
String fileName = new File(path).getName();
