StringSplit count from right side


Recommended Posts

If i have a file path like this:

d:\folder6\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3

I need in my script to extract "folder1" name to get album name...

I did try that with SplitString but it counts arrays from left to right

If it could read it from right to left I would ask for $array[2] and problem solved

What I did is:

;here is path
$path=d:\folder6\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3

;here i set "\" as delimiter
$split = StringSplit($path,"\")

;this number shows how many strings i got by spliting
$number=$split[0]

I did try to substract one number from "$array[0]" to get number of arrays substracted by one to get last folder name.

But I dont know how to do that...

How can I always get name of folder1 if there are different folder numbers till mp3 file?

Example:

d:\folder6\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3 (array[7])

d:\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3 (array[6])

d:\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3 (array[4])

d:\folder1\musicfile.mp3 (array[2])

d:\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3 (array[5])

I always need folder1 but autoit read it like this:

d:\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\folder5\folder6\musicfile.mp3

d:(array[1])\folder1(array[2])\folder2(array[3])\folder3(array[4])\folder4(array[5])\folder5(array[6])\folder6(array[7])\musicfile.mp3(array[8])

Any help?

BTW I am using this: _Winamp_GetCurrentTrackFilePath() to get path name... Is there name just to get folder name in that UDF maybe? It will be much better and easier...

Thanks in advance!

$sPath = "d:\folder6\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3"
$sFolder = StringRegExpReplace($sPath, "(?m:^|\n).*\\(.+?)\\.+$", "$1")

If you feel more comfortable with StringSplit try this

$sPath = "d:\folder6\folder5\folder4\folder3\folder2\folder1\musicfile.mp3"
$aPath = StringSplit($sPath, "\")
If NOT @Error Then
    $sFolder = $aPath[Ubound($aPath)-2]
EndIf
