You can use of CStringMid or CString:Left.

Roger Stoltz

You can use CString::ReverseFind() to get the zero based index of the last backslash and then truncate it with CString::Mid(). You can also use _splitpath() to split a path into its contents and then rebuild the string.

How is declared your string? :)

This type

CString array[10]

Hence follow the Roger Stoltz's advice [^].

Something like the snippet below This is at the top of my head and I haven't tried to compile it, but you should get the idea anyway...

CString FullPath = _T("C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt");
CString DirPath;
int nPos = FullPath.ReverseFind( _T('\\') );

if( nPos >= 0 )
{
DirPath = FullPath.Mid( 0, nPos + 1 );
}

Hi, Roget scoltz has given a nice solution. Did you tried that. CString FullPath = _T("C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt"); CString DirPath; int nPos = FullPath.ReverseFind( _T('\\') ); if( nPos >= 0 ) { DirPath = FullPath.Mid( 0, nPos); } AfxMessageBox(DirPath);

Thank it is working. Can i cut like this C:\\abc.If yes then plz help me

Roger said to you how to do it, you then comeback to ask for code. Now, there's something else which is utterly similar, but you want someone else to do it for you. Why don't you write your code yourself? Today is a good day to start.

Not code just tell me how can i cut this C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt and show C:\abc. Thanks in advance

Rajesh R Subramanian

The idea was given to you here[^]. Why don't you try to devise a logic? If you want to strip down to the first directory from the root, then why not use CString::Find() instead of CString::ReverseFind() ?!

You're wasting your time, Rajesh. He just wants a quick fix, he's too lazy to attempt to understand what he's doing or what he should be doing.

I am useing this.

CString DirPath;
CString FullPath = _T("C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt");

int nPos = FullPath.Find( \_T('\\\\') );

if( nPos >= 0 )
{
DirPath = FullPath.Mid( 0, nPos);
}
AfxMessageBox(DirPath);

Then i am geting out put C: But i need to C:\abc. Plz tell me what i use. Thanks in advance

I'm terribly sorry, but this is logic on kindergarten level. If you sincerely do not understand, or you're too lazy to figure out why you got that result and what to do to fix it, I suggest you find another profession. Best of luck. :rose: -- Roger
