What is the best way to return the last file, given the file location as a string? I use requestfile() to get the location from the user but I would like to have just the name of the file they wish to create? so if requestfile() returned: C:\Users\Ryan Burnside\Desktop\garbage.bmx I would just like the name of the last file "garbage.bmx".

filename$ = "C:\Users\Ryan Burnside\Desktop\garbage.bmx" name$ = stripdir(filename$) print name$

Ahh thanks. I could not find the command with the new design of version 1.26's help document.
