I still couldn't get the above going, I tried to escape also the above
variable and if I do echo the above snippet, as a drag command causes
a crash.
Shouldn't really  get my fingers on this too much, since it is not
possible to show the output as a tooltip, tends to be a little dangerous.

If I just wanted to echo the filename and strip all the rest off, so I
can reuse it and store it in a variable, what would be the best approach ?
