#include <file.au3> #include <array.au3>

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

$ZNote = @DesktopDir & "\New Folder.l.l.l.l.l..l.l.l.l.l"

; DirCreate($ZNote) ; ( optional )

$TestPath = _PathSplit($ZNote, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)

_ArrayDisplay($TestPath,"Demo _PathSplit()")

; Output Currently Present:-

;====================================================

; @DesktopDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop" (say)

; $TestPath[0] = "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop\New Folder.l.l.l.l.l..l.l.l.l.l"

; $TestPath[1] = "C:"

; $TestPath[2] = "\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop\"

; $TestPath[3] = "New Folder.l.l.l.l.l..l.l.l.l"

; $TestPath[4] = ".l"

; You can also add this example in help file for folder; ; For file - @ScriptFullPath is already present.

DirCreate("F:\Tools") ;DirCreate("C:\Tools")

works on a hard drive but not on a usb drive (on a usb drive, a file "Tools" wout extension gets created instead)

In continuation of #1082:

Not sure what you guys can do about it but I think it should be noted in the help file that those variances might occur. I'm using the @timemacros as a workaround for now.
