Extracting the directory path from the full path of the file

[kd]

Hi All,

Given a full path name of a file, is there a command to extract the
directory path (without the file name)?

Thanks.

Hi, based on your previous post I guess this is a console application. You
could do the following

Dim strStartupDir As String = CurDir()

Dim strFileName As String = "MyFileName.exe "

MsgBox(Replace( strStartupDir, strFileName, ""))

KD,

You won't believe it, the path class.
