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. |
The following example illustrates the use of the GetFileName method.
JScript  | ![]() |
---|---|
function ShowFileName(filespec) { var fso, s = ""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s += fso.GetFileName(filespec); return(s); } |
Visual Basic Script  | ![]() |
---|---|
Function GetAName(DriveSpec) Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") GetAName = fso.GetFileName(DriveSpec) End Function |
