You could use our file_path_name_ext routine from our library

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/file_path_name_ext_dbase.pro.html

more routines are described here:
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro. html

idl has in idl6.0 introduced two routines FILE_BASENAME and FILE_DIRNAME.
There is no builtin routine to separate the extension - unfortunately.

file_path_name_ext returns a structure of path,name,ext input could be a
scalar or an array
