Finding The End Of The Directory When Its A Variable

[styles3000]

Hello Again,

I've been attempting to access a folder whose name use to be called 'christmas greeting'. Since then, (as u can see below), the folder is named what ever the $Firstline variable is. My problem is what should I place in the place of where were ever christmas greetings use to be in order to access the directory? For example.....

$sDir_Title_Insert = 'D:\Documents and Settings\Taevon Jones\My Documents\One a be HyperVRE Webpages\christmas greetings\'

I've tried .....

$sDir_Title_Insert = 'D:\Documents and Settings\Taevon Jones\My Documents\One a be HyperVRE Webpages\$FirstLine\'

and

$sDir_Title_Insert = 'D:\Documents and Settings\Taevon Jones\My Documents\One a be HyperVRE Webpages\&$FirstLine&\'

But gives me errors. Please, no profanity when you reply. If you can't respond like civil code masters, don't reply.

Thanks CodeMaster Whim,

It cleared, but after a few trial runs, I recognized that the folder isn't even being created. What could be the problem?

In my previous scripts, I tried this and it worked....

$Firstline = 'christmas greetings'
DirCreate('D:\Documents and Settings\Taevon Jones\My Documents\One a be HyperVRE Webpages\'&$Firstline)

But thats just a string.(obviously). I know the secret is within the ...

$Firstline = ' '

I tried $Firstline = $Firstline

but that didn't work. What could I place there?
