UncompleteDir (Function)

In french: DécomplèteRep

Removes the '/' or '\' characters from the end of a string, if necessary.

This function is useful for handling full file names when the path format is unknown (e.g., when the user enters a file path).

Example

Res = UncompleteDir("c:\temp\") // Returns "c:\temp"
Res = UncompleteDir("c:\temp") // Returns "c:\temp"
Res = UncompleteDir("\\CCS\Dir2\User\") // Returns "\\CCS\Dir2\User"
Res = UncompleteDir("/root/file/") // Returns "/root/file"
Res = UncompleteDir("") // Returns ""

Syntax

<Result> = UncompleteDir(<String to check>)

<Result>: Character string

<String to check> without the '\' o '/' characters at the end,
Empty string if <String to check> corresponds to an empty string ("").

<String to check>: Character string

Character string to check.

Remarks

Spaces

Caution: The leading and trailing spaces in <String to check> are removed (identical to NoSpace).

UncompleteDir and UNICODE

If the string passed as a parameter is an ANSI string, the result will be an ANSI string.

If the string passed as a parameter is a UNICODE string, the result will be a UNICODE string.

Remark: If the result of UncompleteDir on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and vice versa), the conversion will be implicitly performed.

For more details, see Managing UNICODE.
