Array a directory name

How do you split a directory name into an array or remove a section from the
name?
Example
dir = Internet/Manuals/tests/doc.html
into
newdir = tests/doc.html
Thank you

Did you try the listToArray function?

I tried this
<cfset arr = listToArray (filename, "/",false,true)>
received this error
Parameter validation error for the LISTTOARRAY function.
The function accepts 1 to 3 parameters.
The error occurred in repositoryView.cfm: line 14
12 : <cfif right(downloadFilename, 3) eq 'htm'>
13 :
14 : <cfset arr = listToArray (filename, "/",false,true)>

Um... so why did you provide 4 arguments?

Oh - you were trying to include multichar delimiters. That was added
in CF9. But you aren't using a multichar delim so you don't need it.

it says 1-3 params, and you have used 4.

check the docs for your cf version, only cf9 support 4 params

Ok that worked, I'm using cf8. If I use a comma or forward slash as a delimiter
doesn't error.
Now if you use a backslash as a delimiter I get this error
Unexpected internal error near index 3 :|\ ^
The error occurred in repositoryView.cfm: line 14

Remember that Windows and Linux do this differently.

>>newdir = tests/doc.html
According to the example you give, what you're looking for is not an array but a
substring.
How about
newdir = listGetAt(dir, listLen(dir, "/")-1, "/") & "/" & listLast(dir,
"/")

If your example represents the exact scenario in all cases, I'd probably just use
GetFileFromPath() and GetDirectoryFromPath(), in conjunction with ListLast():
<!--- Where OldDir = Internet/Manuals/tests/doc.html --->
<cfset NewDir =
"#ListLast(GetDirectoryFromPath(OldDir),'/')#/#GetFileFromPath(OldDir)#">
