PATH.Up

Previous  Next

 

folder = PATH.Up( path AS STRING ) AS STRING

 


 

Returns the path that is above the specified path.  For example, the path D:\TECH\PROJECTS would return D:\TECH.  Note that the path may contain a filename and in that case it will return the folder above the filename location.

 

Example:

 

OPTION TRACE ON

 

$INCLUDE "MyBASIC2_ExtLib"

$LIBRARY "MyBASIC2_ExtLib"

 

DIM strExe AS STRING

 

' Execute the file with the same name in the folder above this script

 

strExe = PATH.Up( PATH.Split( FILENAME, EL_Drive + EL_Directory ) ) +_

        PATH.Split( FILENAME, EL_Filename ) + ".EXE"

 

SHELL.Execute( strExe, )

 

END
