Crazyglew Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm pretty new to AutoIt, so forgive me if this has been covered or is in the wrong forum, but I can't find it. How can I edit a path that I have received in a variable? I created a browse button that will look for an excel file, and I want to filter out just the file name from the path: EX. path = c:\folder\FileName.xls I would like to extract the FileName.xls part to add to a variable for use later on in the script. (And the c:\folder\ part will not always be the same path) Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covaks Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Here's two different ways you might try: $path = "c:\folder\FileName.xls" $path = StringRight($path,StringLen($path)-StringInStr($path,"\",0,-1)) msgbox(1,"",$path) ; A second way, maybe easier to understand $path = "c:\folder\FileName.xls" $path = StringSplit($path,"\") msgbox(1,"",$path[$path[0]]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsleeves Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You may also want to check out the _PathSplit function. From the help file: #include <file.au3> Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt _PathSplit(@ScriptFullPath, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt) MsgBox(0,"_PathSplit",$szFName& $szExt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
