Is it possible to get this command to return a more relative path?
E.g. "/Models/Wing.dbo" rather than "C:/Desktop/..../Models/Wing.dbo"




Thanks

You could just manipulate the data yourself using string modification functions...

I use STYX to do this for me...

So I cannot really give much help there... aside from sharing my experience and point

Try Matric1Utils, it should have string handling features for you

i don't think so and there's no point in doing that.
It's easy to retrieve the part of the path you want.

Just start at the end and count the number of slashes. If you just want file name end at first slash you encounter, if you want first folder name end at second slash you encounter etc.

something like this (i haven't tested this code so be warned):

The STYX functions should work; but I've had trouble the STYX filename functions to work recently.

A solution I use is to remove the application path from the file path, if it is a sub-directory of the application path.

With Matrix1, in simplistic form, it can be written like this:


If you do not have Matrix1 installed, you should install it.
