Description

Returns a string containing the extension name for the last component in a path.

Syntax

object.GetExtensionName(path)

The GetExtensionName method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path	Required. The path specification for the component whose extension name is to be returned.

Remarks

For network drives, the root directory (\) is considered to be a component.

The GetExtensionName method returns a zero-length string ("") if no component matches the path argument.

The following example illustrates use of the GetExtensionName method:

Function GetAnExtension(DriveSpec)
  Dim fso
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  GetAnExtension = fso.GetExtensionName(Drivespec)
End Function
