Get file from path javascript

Is there a way that I can get the last value [based on the '\' symbol] from a full path?

Example:

C:\Documents and Settings\img\recycled log.jpg

With this case, I just want to get recycled log.jpg from the full path in JavaScript.

A simple function like PHP pathInfo:

function pathInfo[s] {
    s=s.match[/[.*?[\\/:]]?[[[^\\/:]*?][\.[^\\/.]+?]?][?:[?#].*]?$/];
    return {path:s[1],file:s[2],name:s[3],ext:s[4]};
}

console.log[ pathInfo['c:\\folder\\file.txt'] ];

console.log[ pathInfo['/folder/another/file.min.js?query=1'] ];

Type and try it:

function getFileName[path, isExtension]{

  var fullFileName, fileNameWithoutExtension;

  // replace \ to /
  while[ path.indexOf["\\"] !== -1 ]{
    path = path.replace["\\", "/"];
  }

  fullFileName = path.split["/"].pop[];
  return [isExtension] ? fullFileName : fullFileName.slice[ 0, fullFileName.lastIndexOf["."] ];
}
