    Question How do I take a specific part of text from a label and store it in a variable???

    Hello guys!!!

    I need your help here...
    I have a label which takes a path from a file in my hard drive.
    Example: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\none.exe

    I want to store this path in to a variable but with out the last part
    with file.
    Example: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

    I don't want to write it manualy.
    Example:
    Dim A as String
    A = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"


    I want to write it like this:
    DIM A as String
    A = Label1.Caption


    So, how can I take a specific part of text from this label and
    store it in "A" variable???

    Thanx!!!

    Code:
    Dim Path As String
    Path = Label1.Caption
    
    ' Find last backslash
    Dim Backslash As Integer
    Backslash = InStrRev(Path, "\")
        
    ' Assign everything left of backslash to A
    Dim A As String
    A = Left(Path, Backslash - 1)
