This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Greetings! I have .htm page with <input type="file" name="myFile">, my .jsp page uses request.getParameter("myFile");. As a result i get the entire path of the file "C:/blah/blah/blah/blah.gif". How do i go about extracting the file name out of the entire string. Greatly appreciated, m, phx

parse it yourself using substring from the last file separator.
Look at the docs for java.io.File (which is a misnomer, because it actually refers to the locations of files, not the files themselves).
Will do it, I think. This is OS-independent, at least for Unix and Windows. Mac File seperators I don't know about.
Customer surveys are for companies who didn't pay proper attention to begin with.

File f = new File (request.getParameter("file")); String fileName = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf("/") + 1, f.getName().length()); Just in case you want to take care of unix/ms file seperator problems, you might want to use File.Seperator instead of ("/"). cheers, mpr
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
