Parent Directory from @ScriptDir

[craigey1]

Hi All,

I'm Having some difficulty Navigating Folders & was hoping someone could help out.

I Have a directory structure something like:

(please ignore the ".")

....<.......CD.........>

..|...........................\

..|.............................\

..|..............................\

Folder A................Folder B

..|...............................|

SCRIPT .au3...........FILE.vbs

I can get the current script path using "@ScriptDir", but I'm having difficulty trying to navigate to "Folder B". When I was using vbscript I was using the function INSTREV like so:

UponeFolder_tmp = Left(script_path, InstrRev(script_path, "\")-1)
UponeFolder = Left(UponeFolder_tmp, InstrRev(UponeFolder_tmp, "\"))

Any ideas / advice as to how I can do this with AutoIT?

Thanks in Advance

Maybe something like this?

$dir = @StartMenuDir
MsgBox(0, 'Directory', $dir)

$dirup1 = _upone($dir)
MsgBox(0, 'Up One', $dirup1)

Func _upone($arg)
    $ret = StringLeft($arg, StringInStr($arg, '\', 0, -1) - 1)
    Return $ret
EndFunc

You'll have to add error checking.

Thanks will give it a shot tomorrow sometime, it's 2am & I've had enough of staring at my dodgy code! Time for bed!

Like this:

Msgbox(0,'This will open "Folder B"',@Scriptdir & "\..\Folder B")

Msgbox(0,"Text Data",FileRead(@Scriptdir & "\..\Folder B\Test.txt"))

Place Test.txt in Folder B with a line of text and you will see that it works.

Works... that's pretty cool.

Thanks Both of You. 2nd option is definately easier to use, though!

Thanks again

Ok, it sounds like it's solved, but I thought it would be interesting to mention that there's something simular in AutoIt as the "INSTREV" in VB

StringInStr ( "string", "substring" [, casesense [, occurrence]] )

When you use the StringInStr function with a negative occurence it starts searching from the right of the string.

You mean like I already posted in #2?

You should use the function "_PathFull":

#include 'file.au3'
$FullPath = _PathFull("..\Folder B", @Scriptdir)
Msgbox(0, 'This will open "Folder B"', $FullPath)oÝ÷ Ù«­¢+Øìôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô(ì(ìÍÉ¥ÁÑ¥½¸è$QÉÑ̸¸ÀäÈìÌIÑÕɹÌÁÑ ÑÈÁɽÍÍ¥¹Ñ¡¥ÉѽÉ䡹½ÁÉѽȸ¸Ñ¼µ½ÙÑ¡ÁÑ ÕÀ(ì$$$$$$$%½¹±Ù°¸(ìMå¹Ñàè$$}AÑ¡Õ±° ÀÌØíÍI±Ñ¥ÙAÑ °ÀÌØíÍ    ÍAÑ ô]½É­¥¹¥È¤(ìAɵÑȡ̤è$ÀÌØíÍI±Ñ¥ÙAÑ ´Q¡ÁÑ Ñ¼ÁɽÍ̸(ì$$$$$$$ÀÌØíÍ ÍAÑ ÀÌØíÍQåÁ´ÍÁÑ Ñ¼ÕÍ¥¸Í½±ÕÑÁÑ ¥Ì¹½ÐÁɽ٥¸Q¡¥ÌÕ±ÑÌѼѡ(ì$$$$$$$%ÕÉɹÐݽɭ¥¹¥ÉѽÉä¸(ìIÅեɵ¹Ð¡Ì¤è9½¹(ìIÑÕɸY±Õ¡Ì¤èQ¡áÁ¹ÁÑ °Ñ¡É½½ÐÉ¥Ù½ÈÀÌØíÍ   ÍAÑ Á¹¥¹½¸¡½Ü¥ÐÌäí̱±¸(ìÕÑ¡½È¡Ì¤è$%Y±¥¬¡=É¥¥¹°Õ¹Ñ¥½¸¹µ½¥¥Ñ¥½¸Ñ¼ÉÝɥѤ(ì$$$$$%Ñ¥ÑѽÁɽ©Ð¡IÝɥѤ(ì9½Ñ¡Ì¤è$$U9ÁÑ¡ÌÉÍÕÁÁ½ÉѸ(ì$$$$AÍÌÅÕ½ÐìÀäÈìÅÕ½ÐìѼÐѡɽ½ÐÉ¥Ù½ÀÌØíÍ ÍAÑ ¸(ì$$$$AÍÌÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½Ðì½ÈÅÕ½Ðì¸ÅÕ½ÐìѼÉÑÕɸÀÌØíÍ  ÍAÑ ¸(ì$$$$ɱѥÙÁÑ Ý¥±°Õ¥±ÐɱѥÙѼÀÌØíÍ  ÍAÑ ¸Q¼åÁÍÌÑ¡¥Ì¡Ù¥½È°Õ͸ͽ±ÕÑÁÑ ¸(ì(ìôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô
