C++ :: Iterate Through A File Path To Extract File Name

I am trying to iterate through a file path to extract the file name. since the . separating the name from the extension is a unique character, i thought i would reverse iterate from the . to the first separating directories. however, when trying to reference the memory location of the position of the . in the string, i am getting an i-value error:

for (std::string::reverse_iterator iter = &(songPath.find('.')); iter != songPath.rend(); ++iter) {
if (*iter == '')
break;
else
songName.push_back(*iter);
}
