Dear KL,

As a solution, I would use the 'STRSPLIT' function with the /EXTRACT
keyword and '/' as a delimiter. It will return a string array
containing 4 string: [some constant directory file2].
For example, inside a loop:

string_arr = strsplit(files[i],'/',/extract)

Then it' easy to get the last element of the array and put it in
another array. I would repeat the operation for all your path+file.
