Description

Returns the last file name or folder of a specified path that is not part of the drive specification.

Syntax

object.GetFileName(pathspec)

The GetFileName method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
pathspec	Required. The path (absolute or relative) to a specific file.

Remarks

The GetFileName method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named file or folder.

The following example illustrates use of the GetFileName method:

Function GetAName(DriveSpec)
  Dim fso
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  GetAName = fso.GetFileName(DriveSpec)
End Function

Note  The GetFileName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.
