stringtrim

[TuMiM]

I know this is probably easy but I can't figure out the easiest way to do it. If i have a string that comes from a fileopendialog that looks like this \\172.28.206.7\Bservices\LST\AB\file.txt and I need to get only the last directory name so AB in this instance. how can i extract that out keeping in mind that that AB can be other directories named other things.

Well regexp would do it, but so will stringsplit

example

$string = "\\172.28.206.7\Bservices\LST\AB\file.txt"

$split = StringSplit($string,"\",3)

$dir = $split[Ubound($split)-2]

ConsoleWrite($dir & @CRLF)

This works, too!

#Include <String.au3>
$string = "\\172.28.206.7\Bservices\LST\AB\file.txt"
$array = _StringExplode($string, "\")
If IsArray($array) Then MsgBox(0, "Test", $array[UBound($array) - 2])

Another two methods.

Local $string = "\\172.28.206.7\Bservices\LST\AB\file.txt"
Local $Penultimate = StringInStr($string, "\", 0, -2) + 1
MsgBox(0, "StringMid", StringMid($string, $Penultimate, StringInStr($string, "\", 0, -1) - $Penultimate))

; or

MsgBox(0, "StringRegExpReplace", StringRegExpReplace($string, "(?:^.*\\)(.*)(\\.*$)", "\1"))

Local $String = "\\172.28.206.7\Bservices\LST\AB\file.txt"
Local $Split = StringSplit($String, "\")

MsgBox(0, "", $Split[$Split[0] - 1])

This works.. :]
