new_splitpath

The new_splitpath function is a non-class version of the CSplitpath:new method which creates and returns a new CSplitpath object..

Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

Syntax

S = new_splitpath()
Creates an empty CSplitpath object. When using this constructor, you cannot split the path until you asign a string to be split using the Set methods such as Split (which sets the entire path).
S = new_splitpath( sString )
Creates a CSplitpath object ready to be split or otherwise manipulated. Using this constructor, SetPath is not needed unless you want to change the path being split.
sString is the string to be split. On failure, nil is returned.

Example

S = new_splitpath( sPath )	-- create a new CSplitpath for the string sPath
...	-- other uses of the class go here, between new and delete.
S:delete()	-- deletes the object and its associated memory.
