Getting Filename from a URL

[anzacfalcon]

I have a userinput which contains a full URL. Want i want to do is extract the filename from the URL and use it for something else. I was thinking String Manipulation functions would be used unless anybody knows of a better way. For example, "www.example/com/files/test.exe". What i was thinking was to somehow get the string between the last occurrence of "/" from the right and the rest of the strings to the right of it. Thanks for listening.

Hi,

many ways, here's one:

$string = "www.example/com/files/test.exe"
$var = StringSplit ($string, "/")
MsgBox (0,"", $var [UBound ($var) - 1])

;-))

StringRegExpReplace ($sURL, "^.*/", "")

or:

StringTrimLeft ($sURL, StringInStr ($sURL, "/", 2, -1))

both work the same, Depends if you want to use the regex library.
