Extracting Filename from Fullpath

Hi,
Any help on this would be very appreciated.

I capture the full path & filename in a variable like (varFile=/home/user/extfile.txt). Now in my shell script I have to use only the filename part i.e. extfile.txt. How do I extract only the filename part from the variable?

Thanks in Advance.
