Introduction

Most applications have to handle path names somewhere along the way. This simple class (actually it's more a collection of static methods) provides nine functions that make the different parts of a path accessible. Groundbreaking ideas are not included, but creating relative path names in any direction across a drive might be a useful feature.

Using the code

The most often problems should have the most easiest solutions. So here it comes:

// get drive letter
CString drive = PathInfo::getDrive(Path);

// get directory
CString dir = PathInfo::getDirectory(Path);

// get folder
CString folder = PathInfo::getFolder(Path);

// get name (title + extension)
CString name = PathInfo::getName(Path);

// get title
CString title = PathInfo::getTitle(Path);

// get extension
CString extsn = PathInfo::getExtension(Path);

// change extension ("cfg" for example)
CString cfgPath = PathInfo::getPathAs(Path, "cfg");

// switch absolute to relative path
CString relPath = PathInfo::getRelPath(Path, Origin);

// switch relative to absolute path
CString absPath = PathInfo::getAbsPath(relPath, Origin);
