hi list,
is it possible to get only the filename from openpanel? (in vanilla) or to extract the filename from the whole path? (i know this was not possible in earlier versions, but maybe it works somehow now)
cheers
The newest vanilla versions have [list fromsymbol] and [list tosymbol]. If you write it the output of [list fromsymbol] into an array using [array set] you can find the last / character (ascii 47), [array get] the rest ([list length] will help you figure out how much to get), and turn it back into a symbol with [list tosymbol].

not vanilla: iemlib's [splitfilename] does exactly what you want not vanilla either: zexy's [symbol2list]/[list2symbol] let's you build that easily
vanilla only solution: see matt's suggestion using the new: [list (to|from)symbol] objects

I also made a [list-s2l] using a bunch of printf commands from [makefilename]. I haven't looked at it in ages – it was a few years ago (2009?), and is kind of slow, but I think it works. See attached (requires list-abs).

here is a vanilla implementation, not sure if it is the easiest way, but it works here…
thanks for the guidance matt!

Not a native PD solution, but this is exactly what the Unix "basename" command does.
