Is there a strpost in reverse? (extract text from right side)

kanika

If strpos find the first ocurrence of substring within a string but I need the last ocurrence.

Is there a function?

for example:

string:= 'file://\\Client\I$\INFORMES D&B\BGREEN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS SL.htm'

I need to extract 'BGREEN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS SL.htm'

but i need to find the last '\'

the string is variable because they are addresses of linked files

Thanks for advance!!!

Hi,

No - but you can do it, using a loop.

string := 'file://\\Client\I$\INFORMES D&B\BGREEN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS SL.htm';

WHILE STRPOS(string, '\') > 0 DO
  string := COPYSTR(string, STRPOS(string, '\')+1);

MESSAGE(string);

Why re-inventing the wheel? Check the GetFileName() function in C419 File Management..
