I understand. I'm pretty experienced, just not with programming. I forgot
to mention the fact I didn't need drive info.

Thanks. If I understand what you're saying I write
while(*string[i] != '/') {
i--;
}
then I take the value of i and take the characters from i to length of
string and have the filename?
(Pardon if the syntax is wrong - probably is horribly wrong - but I don't
feel like looking it up at the moment.)
