I did, and tried to append one with strcat, but that didn't solve the problem. > (Btw, there are library functions to do this, called `basename' and > `direname'. They are better than your code, because they also support > forward slashes and file names like d:foo.) I've never heard of basename and/or dirname. They work fine, though a forward slash causes a SISEGV like my code did. How portable are these? I'm looking to porting these to Win32 + MSVC. Looking ahead I'm going to have hosts of fun with findfirst(), findnext(), getcwd(), etc., and considering MSDN is about as helpful as platearmour in a thunderstorm...:-( -- Thanks, Graham Reeds.
