NAME
- PathPart
-
Returns a pointer to the end of the next-to-last (V36) component of a path.
SYNOPSIS
fileptr = PathPart( path )
D0 D1
STRPTR PathPart( STRPTR )
D0 D1
STRPTR PathPart( STRPTR )
FUNCTION
This function returns a pointer to the character after the next-to-last component of a path specification, which will normally be the directory name. If there is only one component, it returns a pointer to the beginning of the string. The only real difference between this and FilePart() is the handling of '/'.
INPUTS
- path
-
pointer to a path string. May be relative to the current directory or the current disk.
RESULT
- fileptr
-
pointer to the end of the next-to-last component of the path.
EXAMPLE
PathPart("xxx:yyy/zzz/qqq") would return a pointer to the last '/'.
PathPart("xxx:yyy") would return a pointer to the first 'y').
PathPart("xxx:yyy") would return a pointer to the first 'y').
