var file_name = [_:0]u8{0} ** 255;
_ = @import("bindings/win32.zig").GetModuleFileNameA(null, &file_name, 255);
const trimmed_file_name = std.mem.trimRight(u8, &file_name, " ");
std.log.info("File name (len {d}): {s}", .{ trimmed_file_name.len, trimmed_file_name });
The trimmed file name is still 255 length and still has null bytes on the right

```cpp
var file_name = [_:0]u8{0} ** 255;
_ = @import("bindings/win32.zig")....
you want std.mem.span(&file_name) instead
timber blade
/// Takes a sentinel-terminated pointer and returns a slice, iterating over the
/// memory to find the sentinel and determine the length.
/// Pointer attributes such as const are preserved.
/// `[*c]` pointers are assumed to be non-null and 0-terminated.
const file_name_slice = std.mem.span(&file_name);
std.log.info("File name (len {d}): {s}", .{ file_name_slice.len, file_name_slice });
also worth noting that you might just want to use std.fs.selfExePath or std.fs.selfExePathAlloc if i understand what you're trying to do correctly

oh
i need the exe name
so i was gonna use std.mem.split or whatever its called
on the /
timber blade
std.fs.path.basename would be better

basenameWindows better if im only working with windows?
i didnt know all these helper methods existed
timber blade
``basenameWindows`` better if im only working with windows?
doesn't matter, basename is just:
pub fn basename(path: []const u8) []const u8 {
if (native_os == .windows) {
return basenameWindows(path);
} else {
return basenamePosix(path);
}
}
