-----Original Message----- From: andy wix [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 4:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JSTL String manipulation Hi, I iterate through a collection and the following line yeilds the full path of a file: <c:out value="${messageSet.messages[MSG1].data}"/> where messages is a Map and MSG1 is the key. The issue is that I would like only to display the file name, not the full path. Can this be done with JSTL or should I revert to good old fashioned Java?
