Folder name from cfdirectory in CF5

I can retrieve the folder path for the directory attribute of <cfdirectory> using GetDirectoryFromPath. In newer versions GetDirectoryFromPath has the directory attribute but that is not available in CF5. What would be an easy way to extract just the folder name in CF5? I have a script that is accessed by different sections of the site and I want to be able to send people back to the area they came from initially.

    You can use GetDirectoryFromPath in cf5
    Then use listlast to get the directory name.

    ListLast(GetDirectoryFromPath(thisPath), "\")

    ListLast is exactly what I needed, I don't need <cfdirectory> at all.

    #ListLast(GetDirectoryFromPath(GetBaseTemplatePath()),"\")#

    Thanks
