Extracting hostname from mapped drive variable

[CaseyR]

A registry entry I want to use needs the UNC hostname and path to the folder, but my users will often just select a mapped drive. Can SB extract the host and folderpath name from, say, the PROGDIR variable so it can be used in the Registry.

For context, I need the registry entry so that end users can open a specific chm help file located on a different machine without permitting all chm files to be opened.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please see String Functions (Extract Server Name and Extract Share Name).

Does this help?

Thanks, Freidrich, that's half the battle. The Extract Server Name and Share Name functions use the UNC for the shared resource. First, I need to convert the mapped drive its UNC equivalent. Any suggestions?

Perhaps a DLL Call to Windows Networking WNetGetUniversalName (MPR.DLL) API?
