Example for Luis.

[hutch--]

Luis,

This is how to use the three functions you asked about.

One thing, I do have a life and things to do and responding to individual help by PM takes up too much of my time. Post any questions here in the open forum.

With the following code, copy it into QE, save it as whatever file name you want with an ".asm" extension and run "Console Assembler And Link" and it will build for you. The output will look like this.

----------
GetAppPath
----------
K:\asm32\paths\
------------
NameFromPath
------------
paths.exe
-----------
GetPathOnly
-----------
K:\asm32\paths\
Press any key to continue ...


The code.

Forgive my ignorance but I don't remember any Luis around here. Is it an idiomatic expression?

[anunitu]

From what Hutch posted,it seems his answer was in response to a PM,that I also received. Might be he PMed MANY members.

Maybe is a ghost!... ............................ :lol:

[Mikl__]

It is OZ idiom "Everybody and brother Luis" 

http://mp3party.net/music/180432

Dear, love is a burning fire
Stay, cause then the flames grow higher
Babe, don't let him steel your heart
It's easy - easy
Girl, this game can't last forever
Why we cannot live together
Try - don't let him take your love from me
You're no good, can't you see Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I'm in love - set you free
Oh, she's only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love's paradise
Oh - she's only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she's only looking to me
Oh, let it Louie
She is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he's doing
So,...

anunitu got it right, I help folks out where I can but someone you don't know asking for private help by private message is just adding to the workload to even respond. I asked for the question to be posted in the open forum so more people can see it, that works for everyone and reduces the work load. I have been fascinated for a long time that so many people only see you as a function accessible on the internet and while I confess to being an "industrial robot" with code production, I do all of those normal things like eating, sleeping and a whole host of other things so I am nominally a human being. 

[aw27]

and a whole host of other things

No need to detail.  :P

Luis:

Just kidding, welcome to the forum!  :t
