Quick Q on StringRegExp

[Wombat]

Ok, so a quick question:

If I have a filepath: F:FolderFile.lst  OR F:FolderFolderFile.lst

and I wanted to extract information from it as such:  Array #1 = File.lst  & Array #2 = Folder(the folder name directly behind the backslash infront of the file)

How would i do this?

I'm trying to wrap my head around StrinRegExReplace but its a beast above my current level...

EDIT: Possibly a better explanation of what i need to extract is:

F:FolderFile.lst  OR F:FolderFolderFile.lst

$Foldername = █

$Filename = █

I'm no regex Guru, but this works for me

$sString = "F:\Folder1\Folder2\File.lst"
$aFoldername = StringRegExp($sString, '.*\\(.*)\\', 3)
$aFilename = StringRegExp($sString, '.*\\(.*)', 3)

Necessary Conditions

• The Path should end up with a file-name having an extension.
• There should be no "." periods in folder-name.

#include <Array.au3>

$sPath = "F:\Folder\File.xx"

$aRet = StringRegExp($sPath, "([^\\]*)\\([^\\.]*\..*$)", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aRet)

There is an _PathSplit() func included with Autoit, it should help you.

Simultaneously if you search the forum you would get plently examples involved with _PathSplit and regex.

didn't even think along the lines of PathSplit()...

I was stuck in Array/String though process

Thanks PhoenixXL!

and thank you danwilli for the answer to the thread, I hope this helps others on the forum

The same as Phoenix' one but without conditions

#include <Array.au3>

$sPath = "F:\Fol.der1\Fol.der2\File"

$aRet = StringRegExp($sPath, "([^\\]*)\\([^\\]+?$)", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aRet)

Then take care of your brain and use the traditional way

#include <Array.au3>

$sPath = "F:\Fol.der2\File"

$split = StringSplit($sPath, "\")
$n = $split[0]
$split[0] = $split[$n]
$split[1] = $split[$n-1]
Redim $split[2]
_ArrayDisplay($split)

Wow, so many options... its like a candy store!
