    Resolved [RESOLVED] Getting File path from full path and name

    Let's presume I've got a path as follows :
    "C:\TestProjects\FilesnStuff\Test1\File0.doc"

    I want to get :
    "C:\TestProjects\FilesnStuff\Test1"
    only, so I don't want the file name.

    I tried this :
    Code:
    NewFName = Mid(FName, InStrRev(FName, "\") + 1) & "\Output"
     If Not FoldCreated Then
        MkDir NewFName
        FoldCreated = True
    End If
    But, I got the filename?
    How can I change this to get the path only??

    You had it close.
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        Dim str As String
        Dim spath As String
        str = "C:\TestProjects\FilesnStuff\Test1\File0.doc"
        spath = Mid$(str, 1, InStrRev(str, "\"))
        MsgBox spath
    End Sub
