[RESOLVED] get path

Hello people,

I wrote this code to pick the absolute path

PHP Code:

---

StrOldPath = ActiveDocument.Path
StrNewPath = Left(StrOldPath, InStrRev(StrOldPath, "\"))
StrOldPath = StrOldPath & "\"
StrNewPath = StrNewPath 


---

here is the result I recieve from the msgbox

C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\tester\423434\

I need to make a variable of the number 423434

I need to make the number in the path to a variable could somone help me out?

Thank you in advance

I don't understand. Where is the "7411211?"

I meant of course 423434 changed in the thread too :)

you could split the path, then grab the last element of the resulting array, like:

Code:

---

dim splits() as string    'or is it "as new string" ?
dim lastElement as string
splits=split(activedocument.path,"/")
lastElement=splits(ubound(splits))
