It fails because the Array called array retains its upperbound between calls. I would have thought arrays would be destroyed after the function closes and recreated with new bounds. Is this an expected effect? Is there anyway to force the array to be deleted and created with new bounds. thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2015 philkryder,You add a trailing "" after each level of the parent - so when you next split you have an empty element in the array. If you remove that trailing "" then the function works as you wish:For $iI = 1 To $iUpperBound - 1 $sParent = $sParent & $array[$iI] & "\" Next $sParent = StringTrimRight($sParent, 1)All clear?
