CSplitpath:SetSubdir

The SetSubdir method appends a subdirectory onto an existing path held by a CSplitpath object. For example, you may use this method to append a subdirectory name like "\Data" or "\Backup" to the current directory specified by the path. For example, C:\MyFiles\MyFile.fts would become C:\MyFiles\Data\MyFile.fts. Use Merge to combine this component and the other components into a full path.

Syntax

bSuccess = CSplitpath:SetSubdir( sSubdir )

On success, this method returns true.

On failure, this method returns false.

Example

Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script creates a new path by adding the subdirectory named sSubdir:

S = new_splitpath()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- set the starting path
S:SetSubdir(sSubdir)	-- append the directory with additional subdirectories
S:Merge()	-- combine the path components
...	-- do something with the new path
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
