Microsoft® JScript™ GetFileName Method | Language Reference Version 3

See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Returns the last component of specified path that is not part of the drive specification.

##### Syntax

> object.GetFileName(pathspec)

> The GetFileName method syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
> pathspec | Required. The path (absolute or relative) to a specific file.

##### Remarks

> 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:

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