mscrx Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 hi guys, I am not new to autoit but I am everything but a programmer so here is my question: I have FileSelectFolder in a script and I want to use the folder name again later in the script but not the full path e.g. "c:\program files\anyapps" but the folder name "anyapps". Any idea how to do this in an easy way? thanks, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsaltyDS Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) You can check out _PathSplit() in the help file, but I find it a bit overblown because you have to declare ByRef variables for parts you may not want. A simpler way is to just use this: $sFile = StringRight($sPath, StringLen($sPath) - StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1)) P.S. Didn't see Nahuel's while posting - another good possibility.
