nant: Can I extract the last directory in a path?

Question

In Nant, I would like to be able to extract the last name of the directory in a path.
For example, we have the path 'c:\my_proj\source\test.my_dll\'

I would like to pass in that path and extract 'test.my_dll'

Is there a way to easily do this?

Answer 1

See the script task. You can write custom code in C# or whatever, and return a value that you can assign to a property.

Answer 2

No. You'll need to write a custom task for something like that.
