Get filename from string-path?

Question

How do I get the filename from this string?

"C:\Documents and Settings\Usuario\Escritorio\hello\test.txt"

output:

"test.txt"

I really tried to find this one before posting, but all the results were contaminated, they talk about getting filenames from current dir (I must work with strings only)

Answer 2

if your path comes as a parameter, just use:

%~nx1 (1 is for the first param and we suppose it's the first one)

echo %~nx1 would return directly test.txt

Answer 3

Assuming you need the the names of files under the "c:\temp" directory tree (including sub-directories):

FOR /R c:\temp %i in (*.*) do echo %~nxi
