Please Try:

s1 = split("c:\document Setting\document\test.doc","\")
response.write (s1(3))

Hii KumarOp
above method is correct when you already know the directory level,
wht happend when you look for file name with
 "c:\document Setting\document\folder1\folder2\test.doc"

In this case below expression would not give you correct result.
s1 = split("c:\document Setting\document\test.doc","\")
response.write (s1(3))

There should be some generalize function ,
try this

strfile="c:\document Setting\document\test.doc"
filenamestr=getFullFileName(strfile) '// will return test.doc



function getFullFileName(strFileName)

    characterCount = Len(strFileName)
    while (nextCharacter <> "/" And characterCount > 0)
    nextCharacter = Mid(strFileName, characterCount, 1)
    if nextCharacter <> "/" Then
    newString = nextCharacter & newString
    end if
    characterCount = characterCount - 1
    wend

    getFullFileName = newString

end function


Hope this will help you

Cheers :)

Hi vinod,
please see the function once again i am getting null in filenamestr in following example.


strfile = "c:\test\email\poster.doc"
filenamestr=getFullFileName(strfile)

Om Parakash's method was much simpler, it just needed to be more general:
s1 = split("c:\document Setting\document\test.doc","\")
response.write s1(UBound(s1))

Thanks guys for helps, Excellent thinking pgtips.
