basename() function for JavaScript

March 13th, 2007

I wrote this basename() function for JavaScript today. It parses a file portion for either windows ‘c:\path\to\file.ext’, *nix ‘/path/to/file.ext’ or href ‘http://server/path/to/file.ext’.

function GetBaseName(file)
{
var Parts = file.split('\\');
if( Parts.length < 2 )
Parts = file.split('/');
return Parts[ Parts.length -1 ];
}
