However, I can not get the full file name with path from strMVPFile$ string. Can anyone help me on how to get the full file name with path in to a string? I want to use part of this file path for some label. Many thanks in advance.

Very much appreciated!

cpyang	Posted - 07/13/2021 : 7:00:09 PM Simplest way to print a string variable is to use "=", see code below string str1$="a\tb"; type str1$; type -v str1$; string str2$=str1$; str2$=; type -v is to prevent converting escape characters like \t. CP
YimingChen	Posted - 07/13/2021 : 10:34:37 AM Can you show me the full path full path (copy from file explorer top bar) and the path you see with "type -v"? James
abhishek.khare	Posted - 07/13/2021 : 09:50:40 AM quote: Originally posted by YimingChen Isn't strMVPFile$ returned as a full file name with path? If you want to extract path or file name separately, you may check this page: https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/String-obj#GetFileName James Thanks James for the response, much appreciated. When I print strMVPFiles$ using "type" I dont get the full file name but only the parent drive name. When I use "type -v" I get the full path. So question is how to get the full path in to a string which I can process further. strMVPFiles$ does have a a full path but I can not get it. ~Abhishek
