Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ummm.... Something wrong with _PathSplit()? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ummm.... Something wrong with _PathSplit()?well, other than the fact that neither I, nor apparently xcal or reggieblanding knew it existed. nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2007 well, other than the fact that neither I, nor apparently xcal or reggieblanding knew it existed. nope.I've done that before... actually with this exact function (And Valuater and I did exactly what you and xcal did ) Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

MrCreatoR Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Why don't use RegExp, in this case it the best solution ...

xcal Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Ummm.... Something wrong with _PathSplit()?For the record, I actually know about _PathSplit(). Just wouldn't include all the file udfs for only wanting the filename. Edited February 24, 2007 by xcal How To Ask Questions The Smart Way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
