@ScriptDir

[Clay]

Hey,

What is the easiest way to get the Parent of @ScriptDir?...... that is jsut one level up from @ScriptDir

I can figure out how to get it but to me it seems like there should be an easy way to do this and I want to avoid complicating my logic .... isn't there like an @ScriptDirParent or something

One method:

$parent=StringLeft(@ScriptDir,StringInStr(@ScriptDir,"\",0,-1)-1)
MsgBox(0,"Parent to ScriptDir",$parent)

monoceres just likes simplicity.

Here is a function that gets the parent of any folder

;
Func _Fldr_GetParent($sFldr)
   If StringRight($sFldr, 1) = "\" Then $sFldr = StringTrimRight($sFldr, 1)
   Return StringLeft($sFldr, StringInStr($sFldr, "\", 0, -1) -1)
EndFunc   ;<===> _Fldr_GetParent()
;

$parent = @ScriptDir
If StringLen(@ScriptDir) > 3 Then $parent = FileGetLongName (@ScriptDir & "\..", 1) 
ConsoleWrite($parent)
