CSplitpath:GetDir

CSplitpath:GetDir

The GetDir method returns the directory name from a CSplitpath object. The directory name does not include the machine name, drive name, file name, or extension.

Syntax

sDirectory = CSplitpath:GetDir()

On success, this method returns a string containing the directory name.
On failure, this method returns nil.

Example

Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script fragment retrieves the directory component:

S = CSplitpath:new()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- specify the path to be split
sDir = S:GetDir()	-- assigns the directory component to the string sDir.
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
