Syntax

<Result> = fExtractPath(<File path> , <Path section to extract>)

<Result>: Character string

Requested path section,
Empty string ("") if an error occurred. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

<File path>: Character string

Name and full or relative path of the file (up to 260 characters). A UNC path can be used. The existence of <File path> is not checked by fExtractPath. If the path does not end with a "\" character, the last element is considered as being a file.

This parameter can correspond to a full path or a path relative to the current directory (returned by fCurrentDir). This parameter is case-sensitive.

This parameter can correspond to a full path or a path relative to the current directory (returned by fCurrentDir). This parameter is case-sensitive.
