OpenFileDialog

[Scott Turchin]

I'm trying to keep the filename and directory structure separate on my openfile dialog, this is the ofn.flags piece....

I can't seem to find an equate to tell it ot return JUST the filename so I can bring the directory back from the function separately...

I had this working last year, decided it was great having them separate, but because I have to do a file copy into a new directory I want to keep them separate....

Suggestions? Can't imagine we need a code sample for this, see the commdlg32.inc for the openfiledialog.

Hello,

What I do that keeps it easy is pass the entire path and file name to DIR$, you already know id exists, but what you want is the return from DIR$: Just the file name. This is also a easy way to convert short 8.3 names to long names. DIR$ when passed a short name and path will return just the long name.

I do this... Seems to work well.

FileName$ = PARSE$(FilePath$, "\", PARSECOUNT(FilePath$, "\"))

Anyone see any problems with this? Dir sounds like a good way too...

While at it...

FileSpec$ = Parse$(FileSpec$,"\",-1)
or why not
FilePart$ = Parse$(FileSpec$,"\",-1)
DirPart$  = Remove$(FileSpec$,FilePart$)

But this is shortcuts and not very accurate.
You will find them come up short at times....
Have a look at Path...-functions in Shlwapi.dll
