I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". if I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories.
I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type. Any ideas?
[code] Private Sub trimname()
Dim filelabel
split = current.Split("\")
filelabel = Trim(split(1))
Elbow1.ButtonText = filelabel
End Sub
[/code]

Hello Emmery
try this code :
current = current.Trim()
Dim i As Integer = current.LastIndexOf("\")
Dim filelabel As String = current.Substring(i + 1, current.Length - 1 - i)
Elbow1.ButtonText = filelabel
thanks
