How To Get Variable Value ?

[itlike]

I got a string 'path' (see below)

path = "/home/abcd/public_html/a.cgi"

How to filter 'a.cgi' from the 'path' string?
My espected value should be "/home/abcd/public_html/".

Another word, how to copy the string from the last '/' ?
I don't want 'a.cgi' or 'b.cgi' etc from this new
value.

Thank.

man basename dirname vox clamantis in deserto.

for (i=strlen(path)-1;i>=0'i--)
if (path='/')
break;
strcpy(filename,path+i+1);

hi ..

if you want to get to the last '/' in your code you can try using strrchr [this scans the string for the last occurance of a given character].

char path[] = "/home/abcd/public_html/a.cgi";
char *ptr, c = '/';

ptr = strrchr(path, c);
if (ptr)
{ /* do what you want to do here */ }
else
printf("The character was not found\n"
return 0;

Hi,

I think there is a function called splitpath() that may help you out as well. I can't remeber off hand what the args are and it may not be a standard function, but you can find out about it searching in VC++ 6.0.
