DATA : gv_lies TYPE i.
SPLIT file INTO TABLE itab AT '/'. "split the file name into internal table
gv_lines = lines( itab ). "determine the number of lines
READ TABLE itab INDEX gv_lines. "last line is what we need

Hi

There are many Function Modules,

One on that is SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH

sorry, my mistake, it has to be '\' (not '/')

Hi ,

The below code works...

p_str =

C:\Documents and Settings\P508635 \Desktop\*Book1.xls*

data:str2(100) type c,

str3(100) type c,

str4(100) type c.

call function 'STRING_REVERSE'

exporting

string = p_str

lang = 'E'

importing

rstring = str2

exceptions

too_small = 1

others = 2.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

clear str2.

endif.

split str2 at '\' into str3 str4.

clear str4.

call function 'STRING_REVERSE'

exporting

string = str3

lang = 'E'

importing

rstring = str4

exceptions

too_small = 1

others = 2.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

clear str4.

endif.

p_str = str4.
