trying to get path and file name

[gcue]

thank you UEZ!

that was pretty comprehensive and included every example i ran by it.  this was the only path i came across where it didn't work

C:\ProgramData\bomgar-scc-cb\rs.company.com\embedhook-x86.exe --start rs.company.com --all-users

its good enough though

thanks again!

Strangely the one I wrote after UEZ' comment works ...

Local $a = "C:\ProgramData\bomgar-scc-cb\rs.company.com\embedhook-x86.exe --start rs.company.com --all-users"

$path = StringRegExpReplace($a, '.*(\S+:\\.+?)(?=\s[/-]+\w+(?:\s|$)|$).*', "$1")
$detail = StringRegExp($path, '^(.+)\\(.+)$', 3)
Msgbox(0,"", $path &@crlf& $detail[0] &@crlf& $detail[1])

If you know the file extensions you can use

$sPath = StringRegExp($sCmd, ".*\b([\w]\:.+\.[exe|msi|zip|cmd|bat]+)\b\s*", 3)[0]

but this is a lame solution.

mikell is the regex guru
