Hi,
I have a table with a 1000's of rows of file paths. I'm only intersted in folders.
Say i have a folder path:
s:\shared\folder1\folder2\ThisFile.txt
And i want to drop the filename:
s:\shared\folder1\folder2\
Any ideas? I guess the logic is drop all text after the final "/" but not sure how to do it.
Thanks
Andrew
You'd extract the Text.BeforeDelimiter "\" with option "From the end of the input" and then add it back like so: & "\".
