How do I retrieve THIS from the "File Object"

[BrashMonkey]

Hi everyone,

I need to create a list in a list box of all of the files selected by the user.

I use the File Object to prompt the file select dialogue, and I can use the File selector> multi-select feature with a fastloop to get the list of all the selected files, BUT:

What I want is:

filefolder\file.xtn

I only want the folder the file is in and NOT the full path, followed by the name of the file itself...

I can get JUST the file name, or the full path...but nothing I try seems to get me JUST the name of the folder that the file is from.

What am I missing?

thanks much.

What about using the String Parser? Set the delimiter to '\' and/or '/'. Will allow you to retrieve all the folders separately the file is in.

As Nifflas said, the String Tokenizer would be much better to use.

Thanks guys. thats exactly what I did. I used the string tokenizer and seperated the text string using the "\"

worked like a charm.
