String variable contains a file name, C:\Hello\AnotherFolder\The File Name.PDF. How do I only get the file name The File Name.PDF as a String?

I planned to split the string, but that is not the optimal solution.

just use File.getName()

File f = new File("C:\\Hello\\AnotherFolder\\The File Name.PDF");

System.out.println(f.getName());

using String methods:

  File f = new File("C:\\Hello\\AnotherFolder\\The File Name.PDF");  

System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath().substring(f.getAbsolutePath().lastIndexOf("\\")+1));
