return the last string value 1

[Ngai88]

Hello,

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Expresso\Developer\ DvplrInWordDoc.doc

In order to extract 'Expresso DvplrInWordDoc.doc', I believe I need to parse a string value and return a substring.

What do you do when it is a case that disregard of how the string is being output, I want to grab the filename that is always behind the last '\' of the string. I would like to make it a method and call it.

Any help will be appreciated.

If this is a file path, then you can ues File object to obtain the filename:

String path = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Expresso\\Developer\\DvplrInWordDoc.doc";
File file = new File(path);
System.out.println(file.getName());

using String method you can do:

String path = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Expresso\\Developer\\DvplrInWordDoc.doc";
System.out.println(path.substring(path.lastIndexOf("\\")+1));
