It works. Thanks a million

Dim strInput As String = "IncludeFiles = \\mckirlwebpd3srv\CDODFiles\71669\ClaimReviewCustomizationGuideV61.pdf"
Dim strReplacement As String = "p:\"
Dim regex As Regex = New Regex( _
"\\\\.+(?=\\)", _
RegexOptions.Multiline _
Or RegexOptions.Singleline _
Or RegexOptions.CultureInvariant _
Or RegexOptions.Compiled _
)
Dim result As String = regex.Replace(strInput, strReplacement)

MsgBox(result)

I was testing it in a regex designer. I'll start the code and check it out. Sorry Regex baffles me

I guess i'm excited that today is my Friday and can't wait to get out of work.
I tried the update on the following

IncludeFiles = \\mckirlwebpd3srv\CDODFiles\71669\ClaimReviewCustomizationGuideV61.pdf

I get this output
\\mckirlwebpd3srv\CDODFiles\71669

I'm new to Regex and I should have given the full string
IncludeFiles = \\mckirlwebpd3srv\CDODFiles\71669\ClaimReviewCustomizationGuideV61.pdf

Output I need is
IncludeFiles = p:\CDODFiles\71669\ClaimReviewCustomizationGuideV61.pdf

The input string will be different form time to time so I will not know what the input string will be

System.Windows.Forms.ListBox

1st item gets 1st coordinate
2nd item get 2nd coordinate
3rd item get 3rd coordinate
4th item get 4th coordinate
This is no problem. but when I go above 4 items I need to start back
5th item gets 1st coordinate
6th item get 2nd coordinate
7th item get 3rd coordinate
8th item get 4th coordinate
Aslo need to figure out that at the start and finish of each 4 items I need to put the code for start and finish of the label

Because I'm using ZPL code for printing directly to the printer there is code for the start and end of a label. So I can have one file that contains mutiple starts and ends

Sorry. I would be using standard ListBox in vb.net using .net4

I'm using ZPL code for printing to a label printer. This allows you to give co-ordinates of where each item should be printed. You can also specify the beginning and end of a label.

Sorry

This is cool but what if the information I need is for a USB that is attached. Is there a case where if I know that the drive letter is always going to be E for example is there a way to then get the partition information for that

thank you so much. thats working

Any chance you can give it in vb

My problem is trying to join each item in array into a single string.
I've been trying to use a for loop with no result

I like this a lot but due to it going on a label I don't have room for it to fit. Code is being used for track and trace label

Sorry about putting question in wrong location

Thanks a million. Don't know why I always thought that function would not do sub directories.

sorry. my bad. i think my only way around it is to Run As using my login details

yes. but its against corporate policy to post information like that

I can't actually show those details here as its a corporate database

sorry. this is what i have.
"Data Source=ServerName,2048;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User Id=domain\username; Password=12345678"

That is what i am already using and its not working

Thanks. This worked perfectly.
