Given the path to a file how can I tell if it is a folder or a non-folder
file?



Thanks

If you have VB2005, check out the Path class.

Dim file As String = "C:\MyApp\Bin\MyApp.exe"
Path.GetDirectoryName(file)   --> C:\MyApp\Bin
Path.GetFileName(file)        --> MyApp.exe
Path.GetFileExtension(file)   --> .exe
Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file)  --> MyApp

I would think if you do a GetDirectoryName on it, and it
returned the same value as was already in it, you could
assume it's a folder?

Folder.Exists or File.Exists I think.

If File.GetAttributes(cFileName) And FileAttributes.Directory Then
    MsgBox(cFilename + " is a directory")
Else
    MsgBox(cFilename + " is a file")
EndIf

Assuming the file or directory actually exists.

Wow, three approaches.
thanks to all
