You can use CString::ReverseFind() and then use CString::TrimLeft()/CString::TrimRight() to get what you want.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Change it to,
static char *FindLastSlash(char *Ptr)
{
char* pFileName = NULL;
pFileName = strrchr(Ptr, '\\');
if (pFileName) pFileName++;
return pFileName;
}
Note that the pointer returned is the part of Ptr string, no new memory is allocated here.
or as mentioned by toxcct, you can use,
PathFindFileName(..)

Your original code example will break on some DBCS paths.

Oh its Double Byte.. i thought it as DataBase and 
The code is for Single byte charecter set.
Function Parameter, return value, APIs used all are for single byte, and you cann't pass a DBCS or MBCS to this method, so it won't break.

I was trying to remember it's name. PathFindFileName is the way! 
Press: 1500 to 2,200 messages in just 6 days? How's that possible sir?

For Shell API's look for API's starting with Path.. or SH... Thats the way to go.

Thank you prasad_som,
I found this works aswell....
HANDLE Handle;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;
Handle = FindFirstFile(fileName, &FindData);
if(FindData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY);
else
{
Ptr = FindData.cFileName;
.....
Regards,

Actually PathStripPath() is the right one to use na?

You can use this function,too. In addition to originally suggested.
Remember PathStripPath strips original string.

What made me think the PathStripPath better is that, in the docmentation of the PathFindFileName in MSDN, it says the function "Searches a path for a file name.". I think this will invoke some disc operation where as the PathStripPath only need to work on the buffer. I am not sure..... What do you think about this?

This means, searches path mentioned in buffer.

No, it doesn't.
Naveen R wrote: where as the PathStripPath only need to work on the buffer
As said earlier, both version works on buffer. But, PathStripPath strips(modifies) original buffer , passed as input. Which may be not needed. Again, need to use these functions according to need.

Before return LastPtr line add the line LastPtr++ and everything wil be fine.
Happy coding

I think you missed some thing here...
Generally to find a string, use comparision APIs, say strcmp, CString::Compare and also APIs are available for case in sensitive comparing..

Actually i donno any API for this, but i'll you an algo for this,
1) Open the File as Random file
2) Move the file pointer to end of file (using seek method)
--inside loop
3) Decrement the pointer and read a char (to read the char before, using seek method)
4) check for delimiting chars (say space, or some thing else)
5) if not a delimiting char then append the char to a string
6) decrement the file pointer (to set to previous position, using seek method)
7) goto step 3 (have to decrement again, to get previous char)
8) if its a delimiting char then break the loop.
--end of loop
Now you got the last word in the file, but it'll be in reverse. So apply strrev and get the original string..
