Character string operation

[Anindya]

Hi,

I need to read only the file name from a variable which contains the entire path and also the name of the file at the end of it.

Eg:

lh_path is a character variable.

lh_path = E:\xxxxx\yyyyyy\zzzz\........\Objects.csv

In this example, i need to read only the file name(i.e Objects.csv) from lh_path.What will be the best logic to implement this?

Thanks in advance,

Anindya

Hi,

Use the SPLIT statment. Use an internal table as the target and read the last record of the target internal table. This will always be the file name.
