>I seem to recall a function that would return the filename if a a string if given the full path of the file. For example if given "C:\APPS\VFP\TEST.DBF" it would return "TEST.DBF". What is that function? Darned if I can recall.


Try This:

LParameter PcFileString && String Containing Path and FileName.
Local LcRetVal && Holds Return Value.
Local LnStringLength && Length of the string containing the file and path
Local LnSlashLocation && Location in PcFileString where the last '\' is.

LnStringLength = Len(PcFileString)
LnSlashLocation = Rat('\',PcFileString)

* Extract the Right-Most characters from the string up to
* the last back slash '\'
LcRetVal = Right(PcFileString, LnStringLength - LnSlashlocation)

Return LcRetVal
