Parse a string

[Jennifer84]

I have 2 strings like this:
In these 2 cases I want to get "File1.txt" and "File2.txt" and put them to a string.
I need the same method so I suppose I have to find the Last "/" in the string and then
put the rest to a new string.

What method and approach can be used to do this ?

std::string Line1 = "c:\Folder1\File1.txt";
std::string Line2 = "c:\Folder1\Folder2\File2.txt";

If you need to "find the Last "/" in the string" try using the std::string::find_last_of() to get index of the last slash in a string. For details see e.g. here http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/find_last_of.html

There are many ways but here's one:

string filename = Line1.substr(Line1.rfind("\\")+1, string::npos);

I didn't test this BTW.

EDITED: Added the extra \

That could even be:

string filename = Line1.substr(Line1.rfind("\\")+1);

to make it a bit shorter.

Thanks again codeaa. That solved the problem nicely !
