SplitPath function should be what you need for it.

You could always try something based on the ANSI function strrchr (). Perhaps:

    char *ptr;

    if (ptr == strrchr (copy_of_filename, '\\'))    // Find the last directory separator
        *ptr = 0;                                   // Terminate the string there, if it exists

This will alter copy_of_filename to become just the directory part.

I don't see any reason why you can't use the CVI function, you are already importing CVI stuff for the UI, so why not a few more functions if you need them?

The first virtue of the programmer is laziness, reuse code that is already written instead of writing your own.
