_PathSplitEx

It is other task. The task of checking the validity of the path. And it isn't carried out fully. If it isn't carried out, and the meaning of it dubious.

I believe that we are not well understood

;@DesktopDir & "\FileExists.au3" = "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3"
If FileExists("C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3", "Exists")
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3", "Does NOT exists")
EndIf

this is a valid path ehhhhhhhh , the _PathSplit() only aesthetically repair, so _PathSplit() is in line with all other AutoIt native function

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFilename = "", $sExtension = ""
Local $aPathSplit, $sPath = "C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3"

 $aPathSplit = _PathSplit($sPath, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFilename, $sExtension) ; 3.3.9.16
_ArrayDisplay($aPathSplit)

ConsoleWrite('$sDrive = ' & $sDrive & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sDir & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sFilename & @LF & _
        '$sExtension = ' & $sExtension & @LF & @LF)

;~ in $aPathSplit Return
;~ [0]|C:\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\FileExists.au3
;~ [1]|C:
;~ [2]|\Users\\\DXRW4E///\\Desktop\\\\\\
;~ [3]|FileExists
;~ [4]|.au3

;~ >Running:(3.3.9.16):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:\Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (Beta).au3"    
;~ --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
;~ $sDrive = C:
;~ $sDir = \Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\
;~ $sDir = FileExists
;~ $sExtension = .au3

but fixes this invalid Path (as mentioned is a crazy thing, will not have to ever happen), is only a precaution nothing else

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFilename = "", $sExtension = ""
Local $aPathSplit, $sPath = "C: \ Users \/\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\ FileExists.au3"

 $aPathSplit = _PathSplit($sPath, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFilename, $sExtension) ; 3.3.9.16
_ArrayDisplay($aPathSplit)

ConsoleWrite('$sDrive = ' & $sDrive & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sDir & @LF & _
        '$sDir = ' & $sFilename & @LF & _
        '$sExtension = ' & $sExtension & @LF & @LF)

;~ in $aPathSplit Return
;~ [0]|C: \ Users \\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\ FileExists.au3
;~ [1]|C:
;~ [2]| \ Users \/\ DXRW4E //\\ Desktop \\\
;~ [3]|FileExists
;~ [4]|.au3

;~ >Running:(3.3.9.16):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:\Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script (Beta).au3"
;~ --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
;~ $sDrive = C:
;~ $sDir = \Users\DXRW4E\Desktop\
;~ $sDir = FileExists
;~ $sExtension = .au3

Ciao.

Spaces may be near the ""

$sPath = @ScriptDir & '\ file.txt'
$hFile = FileOpen($sPath, 2)
If $hFile = -1 Then Exit MsgBox(0, 'error', 'error')
FileWrite($hFile, '')
FileClose($hFile)

If FileExists($sPath) Then MsgBox(0, 'Yes', $sPath)

Then you should check out the valid characters

$sText=StringRegExp($sText, '(?i)^[a-z]:(?:[\\/][^:*?"<>|]+)[\\/]?$')

Hi AZJIO, is a crazy thing & with it should never happen, it means that that's not a responsibility of the _PathSplit if an is Path is invalid, as said to be 100% sure (for the path that is valid or not valid) is better to use the

however is only _PathSplit() everything else about Path (how to say in an Microsoft official way) is in AutoIt help WinApiEx ShellPath Management (#include <WinAPIShPath.au3>.)

which are those that are 100% compatible with windows

Ciao.
