RE: [PHP-WIN] Stripping filepath from string

Oh, I should probably have mentioned that what I want to end up with is the stuff to the right of the last slash (be that forward of backslash). /Christian -----Original Message----- From: Christian Sandfeld [mailto:csa@zen-sys.com] Sent: 9. oktober 2001 15:41 To: 'php-windows@lists.php.net' Subject: [PHP-WIN] Stripping filepath from string Hi list, I know I have seen this somewhere - but I can't find it (and for some reason I can't get my head around it). Is there a predefined function or alternatively an easy way to strip the filepath of a string containing both filepath and filename? Strings could look like this: /my/file/path/myfile /my/file/path/myfile.name c:\my\file\path\myfile c:\my\file\path\myfile.name etc... I know this should be fairly simple, but my mind is blank (if there's no predefined function I know I should probably use some regex, but me and regex don't get along (I always mess up)). Any help will be greatly appreciated :-) /Christian -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
