Hi there!

I seem to have stumbled on to something that I just cant remember how to
do, I could do it in vb6.

I need to get this result

C:\x\y\z\

from the string:
C:\x\y\z\abc.123


any ideas?

THANKS! -S

Have a look at 'System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName'.

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName()

Hi Shadowboxer,
When you not want to do some IO just use Split or Lastindexof

Using 'System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName' doesn't perform any IO operations.

Ok Ok , mistinking of me, but only for you and not for the OP

When you do not want to use import system.io

I was just telling the alternative.

No problem. I think it's good that you tell the people about alternative
methods, so they get familiar with the string functions.

Why would you not want to do that?
