Dear Gernot,

you may use file_path_name_ext from our library.
 
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_html/dbase/download/file_path_name_ext.tar.gz

   file='d:\alpha\beta\filen.ext
   f=file_path_name_ext(file)
   print, f.path
     d:/alpha/beta/
   print, f.name
     filen
  print, f.ext
     .ext

For further routines and licensing please look first at
