String Problem

Rajesh R Subramanian

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

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

Why do you use Find, instead of (suggested) ReverseFind? :) [added] BTW since now the request is urgent, please feel free to visit www.cpallini.freeproductz.com to get the JITS (Just In Time Solution). :-D [/added]
