Greatday,
Hoping you're all safe,
It seems i can't figure out how to delimit a filepath.
Like extracting only \\NAS1\Concert_Collection\ from the following filepath: "\\NAS1\Concert_Collection\Foo Fighters_ Live at Wembley Stadium (2008)\BDMV\"
I've been trying ListLimit, Filefolder and FileVolume but without success. RemoveRIght isn't an option due the variable length and sometimes their are additional levels.
I'm only after the Base Path, which is the name of my nas followed by the respective shared folder. Where the shared folder is the variable.
Another thanks for any pointers :-)
Take care and stay safe !

I'm sure there are more elegant ways but this should work if "\\NAS1\" is a constant
Mid(\\NAS1\Concert_Collection\,0,Math(Find(\\NAS1\Concert_Collection\,\,7) + 1))
i.e. reds changed to filename path field
Mid([Filename (path)],0,Math(Find([Filename (path)],\,7) + 1))

Try this - you can replace the {2} with the number of desired path elements:
regex([filename],/#(\\(.+?\\){2})#/,1)
To skip N elements and get the following K elements of the path:
regex([filename],/#\\(.+?\\){N}((.+?\\){K})#/,2)
To skip N elements and get all remaining text:
regex([filename],/#\\(.+?\\){N}(.*)#/,2)
A Replace([filename], \, ; ) can also be used to convert the path to a list of elements, which can then be manipulated with the list functions.

Many thanks dear Lepa and Zybex, you're both wizards !
You guys are truly the 'crème de la crème' of the Interact forum.
regex([filename],/#(\\(.+?\\){2})#/,1)
Works perfectly !
Enjoy the Year's end,
Take care and stay safe !

This looks like easiest one to me for the problem in question
A Replace([filename], \, ; ) can also be used to convert the path to a list of elements, which can then be manipulated with the list functions.
Don't even need use Replace as ListItem takes delimiter in so one can use \ as delimiter instead of ;
\\ListItem(\\NAS1\Concert_Collection\,2,\)\ListItem(\\NAS1\Concert_Collection\,3,\)\
or with empty items removed:
Save(ListClean([filename (path)],3,\), v_PathElements)/
\\ListItem([v_PathElements],0,\)\ListItem([v_PathElements],1,\)\

Good point!
Happy new year, everyone :)
