object

Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

path

Required. The path specification for the component whose base name is to be returned.

The GetBaseName method returns a zero-length string ("") if no component matches the path argument.

Note
The GetBaseName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.

The following example illustrates the use of the GetBaseName method.

JScript	Copy Code
function ShowBaseName(filespec) { var fso, s = ""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s += fso.GetBaseName(filespec); return(s); }

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Function GetTheBase(filespec) Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") GetTheBase = fso.GetBaseName(filespec) End Function
