Splitting full pathname into pathname, filename, extension

[rossnixon]

Hi there,

I am pulling a full path into a script using $var = $CmdLine[1] (tested this, working OK).

I am right-clicking a certain filetype to run a compiled script on.

How do I split $var into three new variables - the directory path, filename, extension.

Thanks,

Ross

Also, my favorite for splitting a path is _PathSplit.

More info and example in AutoIt help file under

User Defined Functions->File Management->_PathSplit

Thanks. Hopefully that will help someone else when they search the forum.

I managed to get it done using the first answer.

It was easier than I thought, especially since I could search from the right hand side for the "\".
