Getting directory from a path

[Geespot]

Hi,

I have wrote a class that opens a file and reads information out of it, and i have the following function..

model.LoadModel("data\\file.txt");

How can i determine the directory that file is in, is current applications path and \data\ " ?

The reason is the file.txt contains a reference to another file, which is stored in the same path as file.txt. But i dont know how to code to find out what that directory is.


Thanks.

Try searching for _splitpath on MSDN.

On windows you can use _getcwd to get the current working directory, to which all relative paths relate.

There's a similar POSIX function.
