FNSTRIP
. Summary
fnstrip(str <filename>, int <specifier>, str <target>);
. Description
The fnstrip function allows specific parts of a filename to be ex-
tracted. In the MS-DOS operating system, a filename can consist of
up to four parts, the drive, the path, the name, and the extension
(e.g., C:\TELIX\TELIX.FON). fnstrip processes the filename specified
in <filename>, and depending on the value of <specifier>, places any
combination of these four parts in the <target> string. Legal values
for <specifier> and their results are as follows:
<specifier> Filename portion copied
0 Full file name
1 All except the drive
2 Drive, name, and extension
3 Name and extension
4 Drive, path, and name (no extension)
5 Path and name (no extension)
6 Drive and name (no extension)
7 Name only (no extension)
12 Drive and path only
13 Path only
14 Drive only
. Return Value
None.
. Example
str filename[64], shortname[16];
gets(filename, 64); // ask for a filename
fnstrip(filename, 3, shortname); // keep only name & extension
