I want to split the string

I want to split the following String "C:\ATS\Script\SampleFiles\xml\books.xml" to extract only name of the file (books.xml)

I tried using the split function but couldn't split \

    if (file.isDirectory()) {
       String fol = file.getCanonicalPath() ;
       String foln = fol.split("C:\\ATS\\Script\\SampleFiles\\xml")[1];         
       System.out.println("directory:" + foln);
    }

I want the output to extract only the file name i.e books.xml

You can do it simpler

File dir = new File("D:\\foo");
File file = new File("D:\\foo\\test.txt");

System.out.println("file.getName() = " + file.getName()); // test.txt
System.out.println("dir.getName() = " + dir.getName()); // foo

Use getFileName() method in Path

Path path = Paths.get("C:/ATS/Script/SampleFiles/xml/books.xml");
System.out.println(path.getFileName().toString());

Output

books.xml

Is this it?

String fol = ...
String split[];

split = fol.split("\\");

String foln = split[split.length-1];
