I would like to create a field that will display the name of the file that have been placed in a container field.  I'm using FMP 9. Thanks for your help.

Additional info:

 

I used GetAsText and it give me this output:

 

size:612,792

image:Photos and Documents/Company Style Indicia.pdf
imagemac:/Macintosh HD/Users/GarySmith/Desktop/Envirolution/Photos and Documents/Company Style Indicia.pdf

 

I'm looking for a calculation that will just give me the file name... not the entire path.  I'm inserting both images and files into the same container field.

The General Topics are for questions about the Functions and Features that were new with the release of that Version of FileMaker.

Try something like:

Let ( [ path = GetValue ( YourContainerField; 2 );
        val = Substitute ( path; [ ":"; ¶ ]; [ "/"; ¶ ] )
      ];
         GetValue ( val; ValueCount ( val ) )
      )
