Just use a regular expression to remove everything before (and including) the last \.

 var path = "C:\\fakepath\\example.doc";
 var filename = path.replace(/^.*\\/, "");
 console.log(filename);

Obviously, you'd get path from your file input.

And you will get the name of first file.

document.getElementById("yourInputElement").files[0].name

If you want to get multiple filenames, you have to iterate over files.

Something like the following should work for you:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $(".inputWrapper").mousedown(function() {
        var button = $(this);
        button.addClass('clicked');
        setTimeout(function(){
            button.removeClass('clicked');
        },50);
    });
    $('input[type=file]').on('change', function(e) {
        var filename = $(e.currentTarget).val().replace(/^.*\\/, "");
        $this.parent().find('span').text(filename);
    });
});
</script>

Use Below Code :

<label for="file" class="input input-file"><div class="button"><input type="file" onchange="this.parentNode.nextSibling.value = this.value" name="uploadfiliron" class="uploadimg" data-gotfile='uploadimg-1'>Browse</div><input type="text" readonly class="uploadimg-1"></label>

And This is script

<script>$('body').on('change','.uploadimg',function(e){
var filename = $(this).val().replace(/.*(\/|\\)/, '');
var getft = $(this).attr('data-gotfile');
console.log(getft+" "+filename);
if(filename=='')
    {
        $('.'+getft).val('No file chosen');
    }
    else
    {
        $('.'+getft).val('Your file name: '+filename);
    }});</script>
