just get filename from wstring?

[ekhule]

Hello,

I have a file path in a wstring like this:

wstring pathName = L"c:\windows\system\test.exe";

I want to be able to geta new wstring that just contains "test" from this wstring.

How can I do that? Can someone provide example code?

Regards,
Ellay K.

If you are using Windows, use the _tsplitpath function.

Just iterate the string backwards till you find a slash, then iterate forwards saving the characters till you find a . What's the problem?

Hello Paul,

Do you have any sample code with that function? I can't much about it online.

If you are only using wide chars, then _wsplitpath is the function.
