CSplitpath:GetFolder2
The GetFolder2 method returns the folder name from a CSplitpath object. The returned string includes the machine name, drive name, and directory. The string is not terminated by a backslash character, \. To return the folder with a terminal backslash, use GetFolder() instead.
sFolder = CSplitpath:GetFolder2() |
|
On success, this method returns a string containing the machine name, drive, and directory.
On failure, this method returns nil.
Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script fragment retrieves the folder component:
S = CSplitpath:new() |
-- create a CSplitpath object |
S:SetPath(sPath) |
-- Specify the path to be split |
sFolder = S:GetFolder2() |
-- assigns the folder component to the string sFolder |
S:delete() |
-- when done with S, remove it from memory |
