Thanks...but actually in my case, the movie isn't next to the cast. :-) I'll just have to write something weird to do it.
- MM > If the cast happens to be next to the movie, you end up with the same as the moviepath. The general solution of getting the folder path from a file path, would be this: oldid = the itemdelimiter the itemdelimiter = the last char of the moviepath delete the last item of filepath folderpath = filepath & the itemdelimiter the itemdelimiter = oldid That would work cross platform.
