Hi Nobody,

You're right. That would work as too, but I think OP was only looking for
the path part, but what you've done here provides that, it just looks like
more work :o)

It believe it is basically doing the same thing as using _splitpath.
You can use CString instead of static buffers.
Releasing the buffer cuts off anything extra as I understand it.

void CFileOp::ParseFileName(CString& strFileName)
{
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Parse String for Name, Extension, Directory, Drive
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
_splitpath( strFileName.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH),
m_strDrive.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), m_strDirectory.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH),
m_strFileName.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), m_strExtension.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH) );
strFileName.ReleaseBuffer();
m_strDrive.ReleaseBuffer();
m_strFileName.ReleaseBuffer();
m_strExtension.ReleaseBuffer();

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Save Variables
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
m_strFileNameAndExtension = m_strFileName + m_strExtension;
m_strDriveAndDirectory = m_strDrive + m_strDirectory;
}

You can also preintialize the buffer size or do it on the fly.
m_strDrive.GetBufferSetLength(MAX_PATH);
