formatting result of $fileopendialog

[darkleton 0]

OK, so I have a fileopendialog box, which will limit the user to finding an .msi file. It then outputs that to a GUI input box.

it outputs it as a full path, eg. c:\test\test1\hi.msi but i then need to have just the msi filename output to an ini file.

I can't do stringright or stringtrim as each msi will be a different name so there is no set number. is there any way of it converting c:\xxxx\hi.msi to hi.msi

i thought about a string split using "\" as the delimiter but i haven't used stringsplit enough to know if its possible or how to do it exactly.

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

**edit**

this is what i have so far:

$localmsifile = FileOpenDialog("", "c:\", "MSI Files (*.msi)", 1 + 2)
    GUICtrlSetData($localmsifileinput, $localmsifile)

so i need it to somehow strip everything up to the actual filename from $localmsifile if its possible

_PathSplit ?

darkleton,

This will get you the file name and extension from a full path:

$sFileName = StringRegExpReplace($localmsifile, "^.*\\", "")

I use this to select a sound file, but in the input box only the filename (w/o the ext.) is displayed. I'm sure you can use this as an example to do what you want.

Func GetSoundFile()
    $sSelectedSong = FileOpenDialog("Select Song", "C:\Users\Public\Music\Music", "Media files (*.mp3;*.wav;*.m4a) | All (*.*)")
    $MusicPath = StringSplit($sSelectedSong, "\")
    GUICtrlSetData($Input3, StringTrimRight($MusicPath[$MusicPath[0]], 4))
EndFunc   ;==>GetSoundFile
