$fname (parse-spec) function

The file name portion of the path name given by parse-spec is returned. The parse-spec returns a standard path name with either a slash or backslash. This can be used to strip the path name, or ignore the path name component of a full path name to a file.

The following examples show target strings, parse expressions, and return values:

Target string	Parse expression	Return value
File installationDirectory\X.txt	$fname (file *)	X.txt
F1: /susr/pass.x	$fname (f1: *)	pass.x
Test - P: /x y z/aaa.exe - EOM	$fname ($delim(spdash, p: *))	aaa.exe Explanation: The path name contains a space, so you must specify the spdash delimiter. For other delimiters, see Parse-delimiters.
C:\x\y\zzz.xls	$suffix ($fname($1))	xls Explanation: The value is the suffix from the file at the specified path name.
C:\x\y\zzz.xls	$basename ($fname($1))	zzz Explanation: The value is the file name (without the suffix) from the file at the specified path name.
