Extract filenames from a string

[SAIRAAM]

hi all...

i have got arequirement where in i need to take out the file names alone from a given string... i thought of using indexof function but not sure of its exact usage...

eg

there are two paths like this

str="c:\windows\temp c:\windows\dir"

i need to get the file names alone as outputs that is temp and dir...

i tried giving the index of fuction like this but its not working

int len
len=str.indexof(" ")
string str1
str1=str.substring(0,len)


but this code is not working...can anyone suggest me a solution..

wiill be thankful to whatever help i get

The Split() function will allow you to split the string at a given character (such as a space). However, this might be a problem if the filenames contain spaces.

this will like this
str=strreverse(str)
str=mid(str,1,instr(1,str,"/")-1)
str=strreverse(str)

Here's a very simple example (from VB6) of how the Split() function can be used to pull the string apart...

Debug.Print Split("c:\windows\temp c:\windows\dir", " ")(0)
Debug.Print Split("c:\windows\temp c:\windows\dir", " ")(1)
