String.SplitPath

table String.SplitPath (

Example 1

Debug.ShowWindow(true); --Shows the debug window.
path_parts = String.SplitPath("C:\\MyFolder1\\MyFolder2\\myfile.exe");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Drive.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Folder.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Filename.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Extension.."\r\n");

Takes a file path and splits it up into it's drive, folders, filename and file extension components using the String.SplitPath action. Each part of the path is stored in the table named "path_parts." In this example, each table value is printed to the debug window and would look like this:

C:
\MyFolder1\MyFolder2\
myfile
.exe

Example 2

Debug.ShowWindow(true); --Shows the debug window.
path_parts = String.SplitPath("C:\\myfile.exe");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Drive.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Folder.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Filename.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Extension.."\r\n");

This example is the same as example 1, however this path does not contain any folders. The debug window output would look like this:

C:
\
myfile
.exe

Example 3

Debug.ShowWindow(true); --Shows the debug window.
path_parts = String.SplitPath("C:\\MyFolder1\\MyFolder2\\");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Drive.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Folder.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Filename.."\r\n");
Debug.Print(path_parts.Extension.."\r\n");

Again, this example is the same as above, however this path does not contain a filename. The debug window output would look like this:

C:
\MyFolder1\MyFolder2\

Note: The Filename and Extension values will return blank. In order for this action to work on partial paths, there must be a trailing backslash in the source path to indicate it is a folder and not a filename.
