Use jQuery to get the file input's selected filename without the path

Question

I used this:

$(\'input[type=file]\').val()

to get the file name selected, but it returned the full path, as in \"C:\\fakepath\\filename.doc

Answer 1

How about something like this?

var pathArray = $('input[type=file]').val().split('\\');
alert(pathArray[pathArray.length - 1]);
