current folder name only 2

[LikeThisName]

what is simplest / best way to get the current folder name (not the whole path)

for instance i have an asp include and I want it to be dynamic and set a variable to the name of the folder that it's in, regardless of the full path of the asp file.

can someone tell me how to do it in the least amount of line,

do i have to for instance get the whole path, count the slashes then and do a left function from that last slash.

any pointers appreciated

Take a look at the InStrRev function.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

thankyou as always for pointing me in the right direction

phypath = cstr(server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))
pos=InStrRev(phypath,"\")
phypath = left(phypath,pos-1)
pos=InStrRev(phypath,"\")+1
Response.write MID(phypath, pos)

can i do this in fewer lines?

Another way:
tmpArr = Split(cstr(server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO"))), "\")
Response.write tmpArr(UBound(tmpArr) - 1)

Hope This Helps, PH.
