The idea was given to you here[^]. Why don't you try to devise a logic?

If you want to strip down to the first directory from the root, then why not use CString::Find() instead of CString::ReverseFind() ?!

You're wasting your time, Rajesh. He just wants a quick fix, he's too lazy to attempt to understand what he's doing or what he should be doing.

	CString FullPath = _T("C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt");
	
	int nPos = FullPath.Find( _T('\\') );

	if( nPos >= 0 )
	{
	DirPath = FullPath.Mid( 0, nPos);

I'm terribly sorry, but this is logic on kindergarten level.
If you sincerely do not understand, or you're too lazy to figure out why you got that result and what to do to fix it, I suggest you find another profession.

Did you hear that whooshing sound? That was the sound of that link going completely over his head.

However I'd like to thank everyone in this thread for contributing to my mornings entertainment. I was feeling a bit down, and this gave me more than a few chuckles. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

Why do you use Find, instead of (suggested) ReverseFind?

Use ReverseFind() instead of Find().

CString DirPath;
CString FullPath = _T("C:\\abc\\cd\\as.txt");
int nPos = FullPath.ReverseFind( _T('\\') );
if( nPos >= 0 )
{
DirPath = FullPath.Mid( 0, nPos);
}
AfxMessageBox(DirPath);
