Hello, I have a cgi script that handles fileuploads from windows and *nix machines. i need os.path.basename(filename) to get the pure filename.
For *nix, thats not a problem, but for windows, it always returns the full path: #/usr/bin/env python import cgi, os import cgitb; cgitb.enable() form = cgi.FieldStorage() filename = os.path.basename(form['uploadfile'].filename) print 'Content-Type: text/html\n\n' print filename ----------------- For 'C:\text\text.txt', the output is 'C:\text\text.txt', which should be 'text.txt', the same happens for 'C:\\text\\text.txt'. I think its the escapes that makes python not splitting it. All Unix style paths get converted the right way. Is there an easy way around this, or do I really have to write a parser including _all_ Python escapes? Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
