| FileSystemObject.GetParentFolderName Method (VB6) |
Named Arguments
Yes
Syntax
oFileSysObj.GetParentFolderName(Path)
oFileSysObj
Use: Required
Data Type: FileSystemObject object
Any object variable returning a FileSystemObject object.
Path
Use: Required
Data Type: String
A path specifier.
Return Value
A String.
Description
Returns the folder name immediately preceding the last element of a given path.
Rules at a Glance
If the parent folder name can't be determined from Path, a zero-length string ("") is returned.
Path can be a relative or an absolute reference.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
GetParentFolderName doesn't verify that any element of Path exists.
Path can be a network drive or share.
GetParentFolderName assumes that the last but one element of the string that isn't part of a drive specifier is the parent folder. It makes no other check than this. As with all the GetxName methods of the FileSystemObject object, the GetParentFolderName method is more a string parsing and manipulation routine than an object-related routine.
