Maintaining leading zeros with the lstrip string function?

[Randy Kreuziger]

Thanks for the basename suggestion.  That almost works.  I'm running into a problem with some of the directory names when they include \800x\   see below.
―-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
import sys, os, string

teststring = 'C:\shoreline\dvd\prep area\800x\060623_00001.jpg'
print  os.path.basename(teststring)
―-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results in 
800x0623_00001.jpg
 
But it needs to be
060623_00001.jpg
