Get just the filename of the current page.

Applicable Software: Active Server Pages (ASP)
 
Body:

I recently needed to make log files which were based on the name of the ASP page that I was writing. I decided to use a shared function for the log writing and didn't want to hard-code the call to the function on every page. So, I came up with this routine to get the filename of the current page: 

Function getBaseFilename()
Dim sScript: sScript = Request.ServerVariables("script_name")
Dim sOut

Dim iLocStart, iLocEnd
	iLocStart = InStrRev(sScript, "/")
	If iLocStart > 0 Then
		iLocEnd = InStr(iLocStart, sScript, ".")
		If iLocEnd > 0 Then
			sOut = Mid(sScript, iLocStart + 1, iLocEnd - iLocStart - 1)
		Else
			sOut = Right(sScript, iLocStart)
		End If
	Else
		sOut = sScript
	End if
	
	getBaseFileName = sOut
	
End Function

To use it, I did:

Dim sFileName
    sFileName = getBaseFileName()

    Response.Write sFileName
