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

Another one

var filename = fullPath.split(/[\\\/]/).pop();

Here split have a regular expression with a character class
The two characters have to be escaped with '\'

Or use array to split

var filename = fullPath.split(['/','\\']).pop();

It would be the way to dynamically push more separators into an array, if needed.
If fullPath is explicitly set by a string in your code it need to escape the backslash!
Like "C:\\Documents and Settings\\img\\recycled log.jpg"
