How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript?

Question

Is there a way that I can get the last value (based on the \'\\\' symbol) from a full path?

Example:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\img\\recycled log.jpg<

Answer 1

The following line of JavaScript code will give you the file name.

var z = location.pathname.substring(location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
alert(z);
