hello wise and helpful list members ;)
I need to find a way to take the absolute path name that [openpanel] spits out and truncate off all the directory information to just get the filename. I can't find a working [regexp] object out there to use. is there any way right now in pd to split up a symbol into its component tokens? I know that this has been talked about before, but I havn't been able to find an answere in the archives. this is as close as I got:

the conclussion of this thread was "use [shell]" but as far as i know, [shell] doesnt exist on windows 2000 and I need my patch to run on windows, osx and linux.
thanks again for any advice.
