GetBaseName Method
Returns a string containing the base name of the last component, less any file extension, in a path.
object.GetBaseName(path)
Arguments
object
Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.path
Required. The path specification for the component whose base name is to be returned.
Remarks
The GetBaseName method returns a zero-length string ("") if no component matches the path argument.
Note
The GetBaseName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.
The following example illustrates the use of the GetBaseName method.
function ShowBaseName(filespec)
{
var fso, s = "";
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
s += fso.GetBaseName(filespec);
return(s);
}
Function GetTheBase(filespec)
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
GetTheBase = fso.GetBaseName(filespec)
End Function
