How can I remove the . and .. from a path in Delphi (not using .NET).
I need a function, so I can pass it something like ‘c:\program files..\program files…’, and I want the function to return to me ‘c:\’.

Can Delphi do that on its own? Or do I need to do it myself?

    Maybe this is what you are looking for:

    SysUtils.ExpandFileName(‘c:\temp\.\test\..\test2’)

    It returns the absolute path with all relative parts removed.
