Default Filename extract from Filepath Text String

Hi

I am trying to find a simple formulaic way of extracting the filename from a
filepath. I have looked at the Text related functions in Excel and they all
appear inapplicable due to the variable nature of filepaths i.e. the number
of sub-folders and the variation in naming of all elements. As an example
see below:

C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\My Local
Data\Graduation\campusmap.pdf

From the above I would want to extract just: campusmap.pdf

I have tried to locate the position of the final \ and use that as the key
to extract the filename but I am struggling to define this despite reading
all related posts on the subject. Any help very much appreciated.

Best regards
Dave
