find last occurrence of `/` in file path in coldfusion

Question

In Coldfusion, I tried to find the function to find the index value of last occurrence of / in file path so that file name after / is picked up. can any body suggest me the solution. I want to retrieve file name from a file path.

Answer 1

Use GetFileFromPath(filepath). It returns the file name from a given path.

<cfset fileName = GetFileFromPath(filepath)>

Answer 2

You could either use listLast() to get the fragment of the string you want directly:

filePart = listLast(fullPath, "/\");

Or you could simply use java.lang.String's lastIndexOf() method to approach it exactly the way you describe.

However I'd just use listLast().
