Retrieving Folder Name...
Quote from sghoshnbu on June 1, 2020, 6:06 pmHello All,
I used FolderBox command in VisualNeoWin for selecting a folder and loaded that one in [savedFolder] variable. This variable holds the complete path of the folder selected. E.g D:\democontent\vnw\.
Now I need the folder name only(vnw) and no path as I want to create a sub-folder under the [savedFolder] variable with the folder name vnw. Once I fired the command
CreateFolder "[savedfolder]\[savedFolder] it is complaining as the variable is having value "D:\democontent\vnw\.D:\democontent\vnw\."
Please suggest me how to retrieve the current folder name only without path value

This variable holds the complete path of the folder selected. E.g D:\democontent\vnw\.
When I invoke FolderBox, I do NOT get the final \ ... e.g. c:\gk\Neo5\gkLab
Now I need the folder name only(vnw) and no path as I want to create a sub-folder under the [savedFolder] variable with the folder name vnw. Once I fired the command
CreateFolder "[savedfolder]\[savedFolder] it is complaining as the variable is having value "D:\democontent\vnw\.D:\democontent\vnw\."Please suggest me how to retrieve the current folder name only without path value
Try this code ...
FolderBox "Select Folder" "[savedFolder]" ExtractFilePath "[savedFolder]" "[Path]" StrReplace "[savedFolder]" "[Path]" "" "[withoutPath]" "" SetVar "[newFolder]" "[savedFolder]\[withoutPath]" AlertBox "Your selection" "[savedFolder] ... [Path] ... [withoutPath][#13][#10][newFolder]" .CreateFolder "[newFolder]"... once you are satisfied with the value of [newFolder], uncomment the last command.
