Hi Everyone,

I am creating a vb.net application, and i'm almost done. Except for one
problem. I need to be able to change this output:

C:\Documents and Settings\fancyj\My Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\FileDifferencing\bin\Comparison.ldb

into a format that is in another file:

/VisualStudioProjects/FileDifferencing/bin/Comparison.ldb

So, basically I want to cut the leading folders and include only the
subfolder off of the root.

Any suggestions?

If the start of the path is the official My Documents folder for the user,
you could try something like this.

        Dim sourcePath As String
        Dim destPath As String

        sourcePath = "C:\Documents and Settings\fancyj\My Documents\Visual
Studio Projects\FileDifferencing\bin\Comparison.ldb"
        destPath = Replace(sourcePath, My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments,
"")
        destPath = Replace(destPath, "\", "/")
