String Manipulation Help Needed

[Jerryab]

Can anyone help me with this ?

I have been trying to manipulate this string from this format:

D:\My Drivers Disc\autoplay\drivers\logitech\setup.exe

to this format:

autoplay\\drivers\\logitech\\setup.exe

The folders change for other drivers.

Example: D:\My Drivers Disc\autoplay\folder\folder\folder\program.exe

any help with this string manipulation would be appreciated.

I'm a newbe guys but I think this is the best way to do it. It works anyway.

-- dialog the user to browse to the driver
tbl_ProgramFile = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Select Program Executable", _DesktopFolder, "", "", "exe", false, true)

if tbl_ProgramFile[1] ~= "CANCEL" then

-- Gets total length of string count
HowLongString = tbl_ProgramFile[1]
StringSize = String.Length(HowLongString);
-- Gets the length of \Autoplay count
TargetIndex = String.Find(tbl_ProgramFile[1], "\\Autoplay", 1, false);
StartToEnd = StringSize - TargetIndex

Whatisit = String.Right(tbl_ProgramFile[1], StartToEnd);
-- Creates a new string from the right-most x characters of an existing string.
EndResult = String.Replace(Whatisit, "\\", "\\\\", false);

-- send EndResult to where ever want
Input.SetText("ProgramFileInput", EndResult);
end

Any Comments ?

Why not use _SourceFolder? This built-in variable refers to your project folder?
(check Global variables in the help file)
