Booth,

I have something similar that returns the extension... in your case I would
first convert all \ to /, then scan for the last /. Then everything after
that is the name and before it is the path.

I also would be careful with paths without a starting /. They are not
absolute paths.

Methinks there is a better way than what I am doing.

I have a string like "home/One/Two/sample.txt" and want to separate it as
two strings: "home/One/Two/" and "sample.txt". I will be doing this in an
.sqlrpgle program.

Suggestions on approach to this?
