EASY STRING Q???????????
I have a string array that holds file paths but is nothing more then a file path with a file at the end of it.
\xx\yy\zz\aa.txt
How can I get the name of the text file so everything to the right of the last "\"??? When the file path to the file could be longer or shorter??

Another possibility:
Dim fullPathFileName As String = "C:\mydir\myfile.ext"
Dim fileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName
MsgBox(fileName)
Dim fullPathFileName As String = "C:\mydir\myfile.ext"
Dim fileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName
MsgBox(fileName)
'as above, strPath contains the full filename
dim i as integer = strPath.LastIndexOf("\")
Dim filename as string = ""
If i >= 0 Then
filename = strPath.Substring(i+1)
Else
filename = strPath
End if
msgbox(filename)
