that, uhh... function --- HELP!

hey, i can't remember the name of the function that would separate a string depending on a string like ",".. man, kinda hard to explain, someones gotta know tho.

I basically need to get the directory out of a string like "C:\(blabla)\(blabla)\file.txt"... get it? so i'd have "C:\(blabla)\(blabla)"

PLEASE HELP!!

Split?

...or use a function like this:

Code:

---

Function SplitCommand(Arg() As String, Text As String, Seperator As String) As Long
    Dim Length As Long
   
    Dim Count As Long
    Dim Pos As Long
    Dim Temp As Long
   
    Count = -1
    Pos = 1
    ReDim Arg(0)
   
    Length = Len(Text)

    While Pos <= Length
        Temp = InStr(Pos, Text, Seperator, vbTextCompare)
       
        If Temp = 0 Then
            Count = Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Arg(Count)
            Arg(Count) = Mid(Text, Pos, Len(Text) - Pos + 1)
            Pos = Length + 1
           
        Else
            Count = Count + 1
            ReDim Preserve Arg(Count)
            Arg(Count) = Mid(Text, Pos, Temp - Pos)
           
            Pos = Temp + 1
        End If
    Wend
   
    GetArgsFast = Count
End Function

Ah ;)
I just read the question again.. well, here's one to get the path:

Code:

---

Function GetPath(iFile As String) As String
    Dim Temp As String * 1
    Dim A As Long
   
    'Return path of file
    For A = Len(iFile) To 1 Step -1
        Temp = Mid(iFile, A, 1)
       
        'Path found
        If Temp = "\" Or Temp = "/" Then
            GetPath = Left(iFile, A)
           
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next
End Function
