Last element in an Array

Func select_file1()

Hello,

I'm trying to get the filename from the entire path -- code above. Can anyone please help me determine the total elements in an array so I can jump to the last one? Is there a better way to do this?

ADVthanksANCE

-1 Holds no data, 0 holds how many is in there so they this:

$String = StringSplit($File1, "\")
$Path = $String[$String[0]]
MsgBox(0, "$Path = ", $Path)

EDIT: But of course this will fail if they hit the X or something, so use error checking too!

Try

MsgBox(4, "MD5", $file1a[ubound($file1a)-1])

Thanks for the fast help. I'm moving forward again ;-)

Did they both work?

Seems as Kerros didn't work.

why wouldn't that work?

Local $file1a[7] = ['John Doe','Jane Sam','Billy Bob','Tom Jones','Frank','Mary','Lew']


MsgBox(4, "MD5", $file1a[ubound($file1a)-1])

That gives you a message box with "Lew"

Ah, I was using it wrong!

I used the unbound method at first until I realized the reason the MD5 checksums changed when the path did was due to me using the UDF (user defined function?) in string mode not file.

The short answer: I didn't end up using either one but none the less I learned a great deal in the process.

Thanks again

edit: I take that back -- I kept the Split for the Logfile text I generate
