Clay Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited June 2, 2008 by Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monoceres Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 One method: $parent=StringLeft(@ScriptDir,StringInStr(@ScriptDir,"\",0,-1)-1) MsgBox(0,"Parent to ScriptDir",$parent) Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 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() ; George Question about decompiling code?
