well, actually it gives me unexpected error with every command that I call after this function:
code:
namethis('C:\test.txt')

function namethis($file)
 dim $shell,$filename,$folder
 $shell=createobject('shell.application')
 if exist($file)
  $folder=split($file,'\')
  $filename=$folder[ubound($folder)]
  $folder[ubound($folder)]=''
  $folder=join($folder,'\')
 else
  exit 2
 endif
 $folder=$shell.namespace($folder)
 $folder.parsename($filename).name
endfunction

get $
all it does is return the name of the file you input to it.
first thought that there was a bug with kix but then, that can't be, can it?
