splitpath Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename portions. On systems with no concept of volume, returns '' for volume. ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path ); ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file ); For systems with no syntax differentiating filenames from directories, assumes that the last file is a path unless $no_file is true or a trailing separator or /. or /.. is present. On Unix this means that $no_file true makes this return ( '', $path, '' ). The directory portion may or may not be returned with a trailing '/'. The results can be passed to the catpath() entry elsewhere in this documentto get back a path equivalent to (usually identical to) the original path. #### ------------ :Wq Not an editor command: Wq
