Thread: Separating filename from filepath

Here is my problem. I need to keep only the filename from a filepath. For example, if the whole path is like
LPCTSTR str = "C:\\Test\\pic.bmp";

How do I retrieve just the pic.bmp into a string?
Thanks

Yea, i did that right after posting
Thanks anyway!

Why iterate at all? The wonderful functions of <cstring> can probably do it better and in less space :-)

Code:

char *p;
char buff[1024];
if ((p = strrchr(str, '\\\')) != 0)
{
  strcpy(buff, p+1);
  // Now buff has "pic.bmp"
}
