Default String Parse

J,

Use the InStrRev function to find the last '/' character,

then
use Mid to get the remaining portion of the string. E.g.,

Dim strFileUrl As String
Dim TrimmedURL As String
Dim Pos As Integer
strFileUrl = "http://www.web.com/doc.doc"
Pos = InStrRev(strFileUrl, "/")
TrimmedURL = Mid(strFileUrl, Pos + 1)
Debug.Print TrimmedURL

Greetings All

Could someone help me figure out a working model to

trim a
file being offered as a string in a URL?

Example: strFileUrl = http://www.web.com/doc.doc so that
something like strTrimmedURL (variable) would be

available?
The goal would be for strTrimmedURL to = doc.doc
Please advise.

J
