How do I get the file name?

[Ertai]

It's probably the simplist thing, and I'm having so much trouble doing it.

I'm trying to compare a name of a page from a Database, to that of the current page.

But I don't know how to retrieve the name of the current page.

Example:

IF DBPageName.aspx = CurrentPageName.aspx THEN
do something
END IF

but CurrentPage.aspx needs to be retrieved from the Q-string somehow.

help...

Try this:

 Dim strPath As String = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
 strPath = strPath.Substring(strPath.LastIndexOf("/") + 1)

It calls the "PATH_INFO" server variable and separates only the page name out based on the last instance of "/".

Hope this helps,
Eric

There's also the SCRIPT_NAME server variable which returns the file name part of the URL.

Hey,

I was looking for exactly the same thing! Thank-you VERY much for pointing that out! I have been looking for like at least 5 hours for that small piece of code!
