How do I extract just the filename given a fully qualified name (path&name&ext)?

[Michael Moser]

My script gets passed the fully qualified (path & filename & extension)
of some file. How do I extract just the filename?

I found that variables in for-statements allow misc. extraction options,
e.g.:
for %%I in (%parameter%) do echo %~nI

echos just the filename (i.e. without extension) but the result still
contains the path, i.e. the echoed strings reads e.g.
"C:\foo\bar\filename" instead of just "filename".

How can I extract just the local filename of a file in a script?

This should work.
In Batch file:
for %%x in (C:\Windows\Regedit.exe) Do @Echo %%~nx

At Command Prompt :
for %x in (C:\Windows\Regedit.exe) Do @Echo %~nx
