Question:

How do I isolate the file name in a fully qualified file path?

Answer:

filepath="C:\TEMP\ABC.TXT"	
 fp=Filepath(filepath)	;This part isn't really needed, but it shows how to pick out filepath
 fr=FileRoot(filepath)	;get the file root
 fe=FileExtension(filepath)  ;get the file extension

file=strcat(fr,".",fe)	   ;put it all together again
Message("File is", file)
