  • 0

Is there a nice way in the WinAPI to get a path relative to another path? For example:

Have a list of paths relative to:

a\b\c\d

And I’d like to change them all to paths relative to

a\b\c

Is there a neat way to do this or should I get path parsing?

    As far as i know there is no such functionality in the windows API, but there is e.g. an article on CodeGuru that provides that functionality.

    edit:
    I stand corrected, there is PathRelativePathTo() in the shell api as mentioned in this answer.
