Generate the previous folder?

[johnmcloud]

Hi,

I don't remember the name of the action in Windows ( lapsus, i'll change the tile after ), i'll post an example:

From this string/folder:

C:Documents and SettingsWindows XpDesktop

I want to have this:

C:Documents and SettingsWindows Xp

If the name is:

C:

Must remain the same, so:

C:

Sorry if i wasn't clear today, some idea?

Thanks

This perhaps >> _GetFilePath

And look at _GetDirectoryFormat in my signature too.

Maybe too much of code for this, maybe i have find an alternative:

$String = "C:Documents and SettingsWindows XpDesktop"
$Split = StringSplit($String,"")
$Tempstr = StringReplace($String,'','')
$NumberSlash = StringLen($String) - StringLen($Tempstr)
$LastPart = $test[$NumberSlash+1]
ConsoleWrite($LastPart)

Now i can "subtract" the $string with the $LastPart? If i'm doing this i think is a good solution

EDIT: Maybe like this? What doyou think?

$String = "C:Documents and SettingsWindows XpDesktop"
$Split = StringSplit($String,"")
$Tempstr = StringReplace($String,'','')
$NumberSlash = StringLen($String) - StringLen($Tempstr)
$LastPart = $Split[$NumberSlash+1]
$NumberRemove = StringLen($LastPart)
$Final = StringTrimRight($String, $NumberRemove)
ConsoleWrite($Final)

What doyou think?

More code than I gave you, but if it works for you who am I to argue.

For those interested and didn't click on the links I provided then have a look here... 3 lines vs 6 and that's because it's in a function.

ConsoleWrite(_GetFilePath('C:Documents and SettingsWindows XpDesktop') & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(_GetFilePath('C:') & @CRLF)

; Get the directory part of a filepath. Idea from _PathSplit.
Func _GetFilePath($sFilePath)
    Return StringLeft($sFilePath, StringInStr($sFilePath, "", 2, -1) - 1) & ""
EndFunc   ;==>_GetFilePath

You saw _GetFullPath, which is entirely different.
