FilePathPart( filepath, part )

Returns the requested «part» of a full file path.

«part» can be one of:

• 'folder': FilePathPart( filepath, 'folder' ) returns the folder part of «filepath», for example:
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'folder') → "C:\DataFeeds\ISO"
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\", 'folder') → "C:\DataFeeds\ISO")

• 'filename': FilePathPart( filepath, 'filename' ) returns just the filename, "" for a directory. For example:
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'filename') → "HourlyToday.csv"
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\", 'filename') → ""

• 'name': FilePathPart( filepath, 'name' ) returns the file or folder name, for example:
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'name') → "HourlyToday.csv"
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\", 'name') → "ISO"

• 'filename only': FilePathPart( filepath, 'filename only' ) returns the filename without an extension, for example:
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'filename only') → "HourlyToday"

• 'extension': FilePathPart( filepath, 'extension' ) returns the lowercase file extension. Is "" for a file without an extension, or null for a folder.
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'extension') → "csv"
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\", 'extension') → ""

• 'parent': FilePartPart( filepath, 'parent' ) returns the parent folder which is different from 'folder, in the case of a directory. For example:
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\HourlyToday.csv", 'parent') → "C:\DataFeeds\ISO"
  • FilePathPart("C:\DataFeeds\ISO\", 'parent') → "C:\DataFeeds")
