"F:\All Risk Training\modules\serviceInterruption\serviceInterruption.cst"
...that I want to find the last position of "serviceInterruption" and chop it off so that the string is "F:\All Risk Training\modules\serviceInterruption\".
If the cast happens to be next to the movie, you end up with the same as the moviepath. The general solution of getting the folder path from a file path, would be this:
oldid = the itemdelimiter the itemdelimiter = the last char of the moviepath delete the last item of filepath folderpath = filepath & the itemdelimiter the itemdelimiter = oldid
That would work cross platform.
