UncompleteDir (Function)

In french: DécomplèteRep

Removes the '/' or '\' characters from the end of a string, if necessary.

This function is useful for handling full file names when the path format is unknown (e.g., when the user enters a file path).

New in version 2025

This function is now available in browser code.

Example

Res = UncompleteDir("c:\temp\")         // Renvoie "c:\temp"
Res = UncompleteDir("c:\temp")          // Renvoie "c:\temp"
Res = UncompleteDir("\\CCS\Rep2\User\") // Renvoie "\\CCS\Rep2\User"
Res = UncompleteDir("/root/file/")      // Renvoie "/root/file"
Res = UncompleteDir("")                 // Renvoie ""

Syntax

<Result> = UncompleteDir(<String to check>)

<Result>: Character string

<String to check> without the '\' o '/' characters at the end,
Empty string if <String to check> corresponds to an empty string ("").

<String to check>: Character string

Character string to check.

Remarks

Spaces

Attention: Spaces before and after <String to check> are removed (identical to the NoSpace function).

UncompleteDir and UNICODE

If the string passed as a parameter is an ANSI string, the result will be an ANSI string.

If the string passed in parameter is in Unicode format, the result will be in Unicode format.

Note If the result of the UncompleteDir function used on an ANSI string is assigned to a Unicode string (and vice versa), ANSI/Unicode conversion will be implicitly performed.

For more details, see Unicode management.
