You can use the functions from FXSL to do that. Do have a look the
solution of a similar problem posted here almost a month ago:

"Re: Get file name without path info"
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/xsl-list/2002-03/msg00399.html

FXSL provides a very good support for string parsing and manipulation,
the last example was the use of the str-filter() function for the
elimination of unwanted characters from a string, which beats double
translate() for strings longer than 20K:

and

In the next version of FXSL there would be functions for drive letter,
path, base name and extension.
