Adds a directory separator ("\" or "/" according to the runtime platform) to the end of a string, if necessary.
This function is useful for building full file names when the path format is unknown (e.g., if the user types a file path).
Syntax
<Result> = CompleteDir(<String to check>)
<Result>: Character string
- String that ends in a directory separator.
- Empty string if <String to check> corresponds to an empty string ("").
<String to check>: Character string
String to check and complete, if necessary. This character string is not modified.
Remarks
Spaces
Caution: The leading and trailing spaces in <String to check> are removed (identical to
NoSpace).
CompleteDir 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 CompleteDir on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and vice versa), the conversion will be implicitly performed.
