GetFileName Method


object.GetFileName(pathspec)

The GetFileName method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named component.

Note
The GetFileName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.

The following example illustrates the use of the GetFileName method.

JScript	Copy Code
function ShowFileName(filespec) { var fso, s = ""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s += fso.GetFileName(filespec); return(s); }

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Function GetAName(DriveSpec) Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") GetAName = fso.GetFileName(DriveSpec) End Function
