Get Path From String

[kalans]

Hello, I have look around for a function and used search to find my exact answer but no luck.

I have a location of a file (string), but need to know the directory the file is in.

Example:

"C:Program Files (x86)The DirThe File.exe"

and I need it to be

"C:Program Files (x86)The Dir"

But I can't do any trimming, due to if they have a different name on the exe "TheFile.exe". Now I can get rid of the .exe part by using StringReplace but I do not know where to go from here XD.

Help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Function _PathSplit does what you need:

"Splits a path into the drive, directory, file name and file extension parts."

You then simply concatenate the parts you need: drive and directory.

BTW:

keyword "game" might trigger some unpleasant reactions. Be sure you carefully read the forum rules!

What's wrong about _PathSplit?

All you have to do it to put the pieces together.

A word of advice: be careful about any game related issue; if you haven't read the forum rules yet, I would suggest reading them asap.
