I seem to remember somebody posted a parser component that stripped the path from a file string to leave only the filename.

For example it converted the string:

C:\Audio\SM\MyWave.wav

into

MyWave.wav

Was it my imagination?

Cheers

great example; it fails on filenames without extension, though.

another - maybe easier way - is to use a String Find (reverse-search the rightmost "\" char) and a String Split.

Yes, and some more. Try this one: OSM.

I included only "_" and "-" as valid characters though, I think there are some more that Windows accepts. HTH
