Often you want to display just the filename of an upload/attachment that a user has uploaded. Just do the following:
File.basename(@vacancy.document)The path will be stripped out and you are left with just the filename and extension.
If you don't want the extension (suffix) to be output you could do:
File.basename(@vacancy.document, File.extname(@vacancy.document))Basically if you pass in the extension then it will not be returned.
File.extname just returns the extension (the portion of file name in path after the period)
I often combine this with File.size to show the user both the format of the upload and the file size
Got something to say?
