Re: [Dev-C++] ANSI C: How to split path and filename

[Fabien V. <fv...@fr...>]

Sure it would be faster. LOL! = P

And for the matter of the "/" (UNIX) and "\" ( DOS ) well,
you could perform a first research on the "/" or the "\".
If you don't get one then you know which one to use, and you could set a
state variable
to remember which one to find next.

Why wouldn't you go from the end to the beginning, and try to find a '\'?
When you do, everything after is a file, and before is the path. Similar,
but I'd say a little bit faster.
