    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() ?!

      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

          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.

                                        Which will hold strings like:

                                        array[0] = "This is string 1";
                                        array[1] = "This is string 2";
                                        array[2] = "This is string 3";
                                        ...
                                        array[9] = "This is string 10";

                                        Is that really what you intended?

                                          Use PathRemoveFileSpec().
