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

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

The previous code that I sent is for converting a dos/windows path to
unix path. I hadn't read carefully what you have written.  If you want
to split the directory path from the filename in a dos/windows
environment use this:

#include <string.h>
...
char s[]=3D"path\\filename";
char filename[255];
char path[1024];
size_t i;
char *p=3Dstrrchr(s, "\\");

strcpy(filename, p);

for(i=3D0; i<p-s; i++)
  path[i]=3Ds[i];

path[i]=3D'\0';

This can be done better but it is a quick (and error-prone) example.

Hello,
how do I split my path and my filename?
Example:

c:\things\alfa\myfile.txt

like:   char *thepath ----> c:\things\alfa
        char *thefile ----> myfile.txt

in ANSI C (or C), meaning the same way with DOS or UNIX

There is anywhere to find this kind of things? (I couldn't find in the
help neither in Bob Stout's snippets)

Thanks.
