Thanks for help.

[I]<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

<!--

var str = "mydomain.com/folder/page1/";

var arr = str.split( new RegExp( "[/]{1}", "g" ) );

alert(arr[arr.length-1]);

//-->

</SCRIPT>[/I]

@rnd_meOct 15.2008 — are you wanting to load the file into a string?

for that, simply use an xmlHttpRequest.

you should be able to pass it the whole pathname without parsing.

Success!
