With recent shells' parameter substring expansion
Code:
[ "${FILENAME:0:1}" == "/" ] && echo full path || echo file name

---------- Post updated at 16:32 ---------- Previous update was at 16:19 ----------

Or, as well:
Code:
[[ "$FN" == "${FN##*/}" ]] && echo file name || { [[ "$FN" == "${FN#/}" ]] && echo rel path || echo full path; }

or
Code:
case "$FN" in  "${FN##*/}") echo $FN: file name ;; "${FN#/}") echo $FN: rel path ;; "$FN") echo $FN: full path;; esac
