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

<Result>: Character string

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.

fDirectory Different file directories (the file name and extension are not returned).

f directory: \Temp\Data\
fDisque: C:
fFile+fExtension: File.txt

etc.
