Regular Expression

[JLong]

Can someone tell me how to build an expression to match
this string "\filename.shx". This string is to be matched
in the full path to a file returned by the select file
dialog. I need to get the file name and the extension
from the returned string. TIA

In addition to that, you'll have to compare the filenames using text
comparison semantics on systems which don't support case-sensitive
filenames. This means that characters that differ in case are treated as
the same character. VB.NET uses text comparison semantics out of the box
when comparing strings using the '=' operator.
