String[] splittedFileName = fileName.split(System.         


        

Answer 1

Another simpler way could be to do

File f = new File(path);
String fileName = f.getName();

I believe this will work provided the paths are compatible with the platform, i.e. not sure if path "c:\file.txt" will work on Linux or not.
