Morning,

I did this ages ago - it might be useful.

create or replace function xxnd_basename(iFullName in varchar2) return varchar2
as

	vSlash number := 0;
	vSize number := 0;

begin
	vSlash := instr(iFullName, '\', -1);
	if (vSlash = 0) then
		return iFullName;
	end if;

	vSize := length(iFullName);
	return substr(iFullName, 1+ vSlash, vSize - vSlash);

end;
/

Testing :

select xxnd_basename(file_name) from dba_data_files;

Cheers,
Norm.

Hi List,

Which SQL function can help me get the file name from a string like this
"C:\program files\my apps\2005\reports_New.doc".?Do We have any split function in Oracle? We are at Oracle 9.2.0.5.

Thanks,
Raja.
