get folder name from path ???

[RizlaUK]

well, it seems im struggleing with what seems like a easy task

i want to let the user choose a folder with dialog.folderfind and add the folder to a tree object, seems easy huh
how do i get the name of the folder selected, iv tryed everything "reversefind, trim left)

i just cant seem to get it,

so now iv got the "DelimitedStringFunctions" from the ams examples and added table,count to the end of it, how do i get the last item in the table, or is there a function to get the folder selected from dialog.folderfind

as always, thanks in advance for any help/advice

Nevermind, i got it in the end

its a forest and trees thing, i dident think about "string.mid"

fPath = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Please select a folder:", "C:\\");
fName = String.Mid(fPath, String.ReverseFind(fPath, "\\") + 1, -1);

Input.SetText("test", fName);

Hi,

I dont know whether this is relevant to you.

There is a String.SplitPath action that breaks down all the path.

Hi azmanar, yeah i know about the split.path, but i wanted to get the name of the folder selected, the split path function returns the full folder path to the selected folder, i needed to add the name of the folder to the text of a tree object and the path to the tree data

i beleave the String.SplitPath returns Drive, Folder, Filename and Extension

Thanks for your input anyway,

it took me a while to figer out, bit i got there in the end
