Extracting filename

rbuser

I have a filepath in a edit box as follows:
C:/data/swiff/uploads/image1.jpg

I need to convert to
image1.jpg
then
s:/swiff/uploads/image1.jpg

I have used
image1 := edit1.text;
image_new := extractfilename(image1);

I would expect the result to be images1.jpg but I get
/data/swiff/iploads/image1.jpg

What am I missing here please

Cheers

I have realised the path stored in the edit box comes from a web submit has
forward slashes not backslash.

How do I replace all "/" with "\"

cheers

Hi Steve,

Take a look at the Delphi utility StringReplace() in the SysUtils file.
