SplitPath()
Summary
Splits a path and filename into its component parts.
Syntax
parts = SplitPath(string path)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| path | A path and filename |
Returns
An array of the four component parts of the path.
| Element | Type | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | String | The drive letter, followed by a colon |
| 2 | String | The directory, with trailing backslash |
| 3 | String | The filename, without extension |
| 4 | String | The extension, including leading period |
Notes
The returned parts include only those portions of the path that are included in the input string. For example, if the input string is a partial path without a drive letter, then the first element of the returned array is null.
Example
prts1 = SplitPath("c:\\data\\myfile.dbf")
// prts1 = {"C:", "\DATA\", "MYFILE", ".DBF"}
prts2 = SplitPath("myfile.dbf")
// prts2 = {null, null, "MYFILE", ".DBF"}See Also
