Parameters

Description

basename return the basename of the file entries given in files.

If flag is true the files are first converted to the target type given by the MSDOS variable. Moreover, if flagexpand is true leading strings like HOME, SCI or ~ are expanded using environment variables.

Note that basename(files,%f) can give erroneous results if pathnames given in files do not follow the convention given by the MSDOS variable.

Examples

files=basename('SCI/modules/fileio/macros/poo.sci')
files=basename('SCI/modules\fileio/macros/poo.sci')
files=basename('SCI/modules\fileio/macros/poo.sci.k')
