Question

I’m working with a SVN post-commit hook, and need to extract the last piece of info after a \ in a path.

Basically I need to get testName from:

C:\Program Files (x86)\WANDisco\uberSVN\testName

Where that string is in a variable, repoName.

Completely wrong language, but in PHP, i’d explode() the string at the \, then get the last item in the array. I hope this is easy, but VBScript is completely foreign to me.

Answer 1

Try using the FileSystemObject:

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile("C:\Program Files (x86)\WANDisco\uberSVN\testName")
Set repoName = objFSO.GetFileName(objFile)
