Try this

$var1="C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winrar.exe"

$var2 = StringRight($var1, StringLen( $var1 ) - StringInStr($var1, '\', 0, -1) )
$var3 = StringLeft($var1, StringInStr($var1, '\', 0, -1) )

MsgBox( 0, "", $var1 & @CR & $var2 & @CR & $var3 )

Try

$var1 = "c:\Program Files\WinRAR\winrar.exe"
$sect = StringSplit($var1,"\")
$var2 = $sect[1] & "\" & $sect[2] & "\" & $sect[3]
MsgBox(0,"",$var2)
$var3 = $sect[4]
MsgBox(0,"",$var3)

Thanks guys Don N just what I wanted thanks BigDod not knowing how long the path is that may not work however I think you may have solved a future problem I have not arrived at yet thanks you both

For variable length path you can use mine or this modified version of bigdod's

$var1 = "c:\Program Files\WinRAR\winrar.exe"
$sect = StringSplit($var1,"\")
$var2 = ""
For $i = 1 To UBound( $sect ) - 2
        $var2 = $var2 & sect[$i] & "\"
Next
MsgBox(0,"",$var2)
$var3 = $sect[UBound($sect) - 1]
MsgBox(0,"",$var3)
