scraping a string of text?

[merkaba 36]

I've been staring ubot like an idiot for about 2 hours now stuck on a hang up.

 

Breaking it down, I have the following :

 

Open file > with a variable attached to it.

 

I want to take that variable and parse it for the file name/extension ie remove everything bolded C:\Users\name\Desktop\folder\example.txt and leave just the file name, but do so in such a way that it doesn't matter how whats in front of the file name. Anyone have a solution to this?

 

edit

Managed to get a response in the skype group.

In case anyone needs an example for future reference

set(#scrapedfilename, $replace regular expression(#file, "^.+\\\\", $nothing), "Global")

 

Basically sets the new variable name, removes all the stuff mentioned in the above and leaves just the file name.

 

Please delete the other thread, it created a duplicate somehow.
