PathFindFileName

LPTSTR PathFindFileName(
    LPCTSTR pPath
    );

Searches a path for a file name.

Returns a pointer to the address of the string if successful, or a pointer to the beginning of the path otherwise.

pPath: Address of the file name for which to search.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{
    // Path that contains a file part.
    char buffer_1[] = "c:\\path\\file"; 
    char *lpStr1;
    lpStr1 = buffer_1;
	
    cout << "Search for the file in path        " << lpStr1
         << "\nReturns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName(lpStr1) << "\"" << endl;

    cout << "\nSearch for the file in path       \"c:\\path\"" << endl;
    cout << "Returns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName("c:\\path") << "\"" << endl;

    cout << "\nSearch for the file in path       \"c:\\path\\\"" << endl;
    cout << "Returns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName("c:\\path\\") << "\"" << endl;

    cout << "\nSearch for the file in path       \"c:\\\"" << endl;
    cout << "Returns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName("c:\\") << "\"" << endl;

    cout << "\nSearch for the file in path       \"c:\"" << endl;
    cout << "Returns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName("c:") << "\"" << endl;

    cout << "\nSearch for the file in path       \"path\"" << endl;
    cout << "Returns the file part of the path \""
         <<  PathFindFileName("path") << "\"" << endl;
}
