String Splitting

[crystalburner]

Hi guys

If you have a string such as this

c:\dir1\folder2\file name 1.doc

c:\dir1\folder3\folder8\file name 2.doc

How would you go about splitting the string in two so you had a foldername like so c:\dir1\folder2\ as string1 and a filename such as file name 1.doc as string2.

I've got a bit stuck playing with string splits and so on...

Dim $path = "C:\Documents and Settings\SomeUser\Desktop\some picture.jpg"
Dim $filename = StringTrimLeft( $path, StringInStr( $path, "\", 0, -1 ) )
MsgBox( 64, "Filename", $filename )

StringInStr ( "string", "substring" [, casesense [, occurrence]] )

If occurence equals -1 then it returns the right-most occurence.

StringTrimLeft ( "string", count )

Returns the trimmed from the left string.

This is some code that I use in a File Selection Process

CODE

Case $msg = $selectfile

GUIDelete()

$csvfile = FileOpenDialog("Select a File", @ScriptDir & "\DataFiles\Pending", "All (*.*)", 1)

Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt

$splitcsv = _PathSplit($csvfile, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)

$Sfile = $szFName & $szExt

If $csvfile = "" Then

$message = " NO FILE Chosen"

DisplayMessage()

EndIf

ExitLoop
