[WD] Directory ?
March 06, 2020 10:36AM
Hi all

sDirectory is string
sDirectory = fSelectDir("", "")

example
sDirectory = "H:\WINDEV 23\Programs\Rules"

How to extract only the "Rules" folder?

EDT_Directory = "Rules"

Hi, that's easy. Find out whether the last character is a "\" and delete it. Next, find the number of "\" characters in the string. Then use extractstring(..) to extract the last string between "\"s.

Kind regards,

Hi.

No validations done, but you can use something like:

ExtractString(fExtractPath(CompleteDir(sDirectory),fDirectory),2,"\",FromEnd)

Regards,

Bruno
