Getting the name of a file from an "alias"

Greetings,

I'm sure this must be extremely simple, but I can't find the answer.

Let's say I have an variable x in my script that is set to an "alias". So,
the value of x is:

alias "Disk:folder1:folder2:file"

How do I get just the name of the file (in the above case "file") into a
string?

Thanks,
Jan Pieter.-
