String Manipulation Help

[imstillatwork]

I want to turn this:

http://mydomain/index.cfm

OR

http://mydomain/path/index.cfm

Into this:
index.cfm
OR
path/index.cfm

Length of path changes, sometimes more than one directory deep. All I want is the current path/filename.ext IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW A TAG WORKS...

Hey imstillatwork,

This should do what you want as far as string manipulation goes.

<cfset mystring=&quot;

http://mydomain/path/index.cfm&quot;>

<cfset newString=listrest(listrest(mystring,&quot;/&quot,&quot;/&quot>

<cfoutput>#newString#</cfoutput>

You can also get the same thing just using #cgi.script_name# if you're just interested in the current script.

Hope this helps,
GJ

take a closer look at GetFileFromPath() and GetCurrentTemplatePath() functions; those should return the values you are looking for. Sylvano

Ahhh... thanks I was looking for a function that sounded like it would do that, I must have skipped over it while looking through the book....
thanks both.

Actually there's a very easy way to do this. There is a CGI variable called SCRIPT_NAME which has exactly what you want. #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# will return the path and filename, not including the hostname, starting at the web root of the webserver.
