- Description
-
The MakePath command creates a full path by joining the drive name, folder name, file name, and file extension, and stores the full path in the buffer variable. The command returns True on successful execution, or False if an error occurs.
The command automatically appends a colon (:) to the drive name, encloses the folder name with backslashes (\), and prefixes a period (.) to the extension even if you omit any of these symbols.
- Example
' Analyze the file name stored in OriginalFile, and ' create a full path with new extension ".BAK" in BackupFile. Dim OriginalFile ,BackupFile ,Drv ,Dir ,Lbl ,Ext OriginalFile = _SCF_ + "TEST.SPT" SplitPath ( OriginalFile ,Drv ,Dir ,Lbl ,Ext ) MakePath ( BackupFile ,Drv ,Dir ,Lbl ,".BAK" )
