RE: [PHP] Removing script name

Hi Todd, > If I have C:\MyDir\MyFile.txt, how can I remove the "MyFile.Txt" so that > I have "C:\MyDir\" remaining. I have never mastered the pattern > matching in Perl!! you can do this in php in three diffrent ways: <? // This is the most efficient $path = "C:\\MyDir\\MyFile.txt"; $file = substr($file,strrpos($file,"\\")+1,strlen($file)); print $file."<br>\n"; // Faster than ereg_*-function preg_match("/.*\\\\([^\\\\]+)$/",$path,$file); print $file[1]"<br>\n"; // Slowest $file = ereg_replace(".*\\\\([^\\\\]+)$","\\1",$file); print $file"<br>\n"; ?> Cheers, Matthias aka Matthew
