FileSelectFolder question

[mscrx]

hi guys,

I am not new to autoit but I am everything but a programmer so here is my question:

I have FileSelectFolder in a script and I want to use the folder name again later in the script but not the full path

e.g. "c:\program files\anyapps" but the folder name "anyapps".

Any idea how to do this in an easy way?

thanks, Martin

$path="c:\program files\anyapps"
$FolderName=StringSplit($path,"\")
MsgBox(0,"","The name of the folder is: " & $FolderName[$FolderName[0]])

You can check out _PathSplit() in the help file, but I find it a bit overblown because you have to declare ByRef variables for parts you may not want. A simpler way is to just use this:

$sFile = StringRight($sPath, StringLen($sPath) - StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1))

P.S. Didn't see Nahuel's while posting - another good possibility.

That one works great!

thank you very much!

And here is fast RegExp method :

$Path = "c:\program files\anyapps"
$FolderName = StringRegExpReplace($Path, "^.*\\", "")
MsgBox(0, "", "The name of the folder is: " & $FolderName)
