I was wondering what the easiest way to get only the filename from the
FileName property of the Save/Open dialogs in Visual C++? I've create a
string variable and set it to SaveDialog1.Fil eName but that contains
the path and the filename. I know I could go through and find the first
\ from the end of the variable and remove anything before it but there
has to be an easier, less time consuming way, of doing this. In Delphi
there was a property of the Save/Open dialogs that would automatically
return only the filename and not the path, but, as far as I can tell,
there is not one for Visual C++. Any help and/or ideas would be greatly
appreciated!

Please ask in 'microsoft.publ ic.vc.language' - the designated Visual
C++ newsgroup. 'comp.lang.c++' talks about standard C++, and it does
not have "Save/Open dialogs", which makes your query off-topic.

Why? Is that really difficult? You sould like one of those programmers
who doesn't actually like programming.
If you wrote a function to do this it would be five lines long (at
most), would take you about 10 minutes, and then you would never have to
write that function again.

Take a look at splitpath and makepath in the MSDN.

What's so hard about that? If it's a std::string just use
find_last_of(.. .). If it's not a std::string, make it one.
