When a user selects a file in a web page I want to be able to extract just the filename.
I did try str.search function but it seems to fail when the file name is something like this: c:\uploads\ilike.this.file.jpg.
How can we extract just the file name without extension?

To split the string ({filepath}/{filename}) and get the file name you could use something like this:
str.split(/(\\|\/)/g).pop()
"The pop method removes the last element from an array and returns that value to the caller."
Mozilla Developer Network
Example:
from: "/home/user/file.txt".split(/(\\|\/)/g).pop()
you get: "file.txt"
