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.

-- 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
