[ESATU]

If source of location like this 02="C:\New Folder\New Folder\New Folder\New Folder\New Folder\New Folder"

how to make script to get just " C:\New Folder " only..?

$iPos = StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, 2)
$sResult = StringLeft($sPath, $iPos - 1)

Local $sLoc = "C:\New Folder\New Folder1\New Folder2\New Folder3\New Folder4\New Folder5"

MsgBox(0, "StringRegExpReplace", StringRegExpReplace($sLoc, "(.:\\[^\\]+).*", "\1"))

; Or

MsgBox(0, "StringLeft", StringInStr($sLoc, "\", 0, 2) ? StringLeft($sLoc, StringInStr($sLoc, "\", 0, 2) - 1) : $sLoc)

; Or

$iPos = StringInStr($sLoc, "\", 0, 2) ; This will not work if $sLoc = "C:\New Folder" only.
$sResult = StringLeft($sLoc, $iPos - 1) ; @water, note: two parameters only.
ConsoleWrite($sResult & @CRLF)

For the fun 

Local $sLoc = "C:\New Folder\New Folder1\New Folder2\New Folder3\New Folder4\New Folder5"

Local $n = 2
MsgBox(0, "StringRegExpReplace", StringRegExpReplace($sLoc, '(\\?[^\\]+){' & $n & '}\K.*', ""))
