Get file name from path

Hi

Is there a way to get only the filenames, from a file path in a field in filemaker ?

The paths looks like this:

Macintosh HD:Users:paul:Desktop:files_web:1801-4i.pdf

Macintosh HD:Users:paul:Desktop:files_web:newimage12654.pdf

I need only the filenames like this:

1801-4i.pdf

newimage12654.pdf

The file names may vary.

Try:


Let ( 

len = Length ( FilePath ) 

;

Right ( FilePath ; len - Position ( FilePath ; ":" ; len ;  -1 ) )

)

What would it look like in Windows?

Take a guess. You only have to change one character.
