Request: getfilepath(file)

Chandler · #1 04-17-2007, 08:43 PM

Would return the filepath of the file. [If not a file, make it level please!]

I'm pretty sure that is just a way to format a string.
Like if you have:
"levels/images/block.png"
And put that into the function, it would return:
"levels/images/"

Well, there is always the /find command on RC that does this already, though that probably wouldn't help you if you were scripting a system or so.

I guess it would depend on what you would need it for.

Yeah, scripting purposes... :[

There is findfiles(pattern,recursive) which also gives the "full" path

What you're thinking of is extractfilepath().

Edit: By the way, I would just love to be able to add in global functions.
