cocoa - Objective-C: Extract filename from path string

Question

When I have NSString with /Users/user/Projects/thefile.ext I want to extract thefile with Objective-C methods.

What is the easiest way to do that?

Answer 1

Taken from the NSString reference, you can use :

NSString *theFileName = [[string lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension];

The lastPathComponent call will return thefile.ext, and the stringByDeletingPathExtension will remove the extension suffix from the end.
