How can I get only the executable name after using GetModuleFileNameEx

I want to store the executable name without the directory (i.e. system.exe).

How can I do this?

HANDLE Handle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, 0, ProcessID);
if (GetModuleFileNameEx(Handle, 0, (LPWSTR)exename, sizeof(exename) - 1))
{
   ProcessName = (wchar*)exename; // I want to store only the executable name without "C:\\..."
}

  • Did you search MSDN? There you can find the functions PathFindFileName and PathFindExtension that you can utilize to build your file name.
