Re: How to get just the pathway from a pathway and a filename? :)
I've always just used InStrRev(s, "\") for years, and I've never had a problem with it. However, I'll admit that I'm always very careful to only use it when I know I've got a full specification string (path and filename). I've sometimes wondered what would happen if I had a full-spec with a file in the root, maybe something like "C:MyFile.txt", but I just never do that. And, that would be better specified as "C:\MyFile.txt", in which case the InStrRev(s, "\") would work.
If you want something that will work even when the filename may not be part of the string, then you've got other problems: 1) is terminating back-slash present?, 2) is it a filename without an extension?, 3) would it be possible to check to see if the path exists as part of the function?, 4) is speed important?
