Macro which can cut the part of the string
Hello,
I have tried to create a macro which cut the file name in the whole path string

Maybe example makes things clear
I have a string which is the whole path to the file like:

C:\folder_1\folder_2\myfile.ext

I need a macro which can cut the last part of the string leaving only the path like that:

C:\folder_1\folder_2\

Of course, the length of the name of the file is unknown.

I've tried to find a solution but still no clue how it can be done.
Please help gurus, I need it badly

Thanx for your time
yorkane

Re: Macro which can cut the part of the string
var fullFileName = 'C:\\folder_1\\folder_2\\myfile.ext';
var i = fullFileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1;
var path = fullFileName.substring(0,i);
alert(path);

Re: Macro which can cut the part of the string
Great thanx yorkane
Just two questions:
Can the result be saved or copied to the clipboard instead of pop-up window?
Can it be more universal-I mean when the path is different or when the text file contains many path strings?

Once again, great thanx for the responce
