Objective-C: Extract filename from path string - antequalm651838 - 07-21-2023
When I have `NSString` with `/Users/user/Projects/thefile.ext` I want to extract `thefile` with Objective-C methods.
What is the easiest way to do that?

If you're displaying a user-readable file name, you do **not** want to use `lastPathComponent`. Instead, pass the full path to NSFileManager's `displayNameAtPath:` method. This basically does does the same thing, only it correctly localizes the file name and removes the extension based on the user's preferences.

At the risk of being years late and off topic - and notwithstanding @Marc's excellent insight, in Swift it looks like:
let basename = NSURL(string: "path/to/file.ext")?.URLByDeletingPathExtension?.lastPathComponent

Taken from [the NSString reference][1], you can use :
NSString *theFileName = [[string lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension];
The `lastPathComponent` call will return `thefile.ext`, and the `stringByDeletingPathExtension` will remove the extension suffix from the end.
