Is there a function that gives me a file name without path?

Question

I want to turn C:\abc.bmp into abc.bmp, or even better, if possible, in abc. That is easy to do with .NET as there are functions for both goals. Is there anything similar in python?

Answer 1

Try os.path.basename().

Answer 2

>>> os.path.basename(r'C:\abc.txt')
'abc.txt'

for basename only:

>>> base, ext = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(r'C:\abc.txt'))
>>> base
'abc'
