View 7 RepliesI have commandline strings that contains application paths and might contain arguments. Some examples:
1. "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Officewinword.exe" "C:some dirdocumentname.doc"2. "C:Program FilesSome Dirapp.exe" /dosomething3. C:Program FilesSome Dirsomefile.exe4. C:somedirsomefile.exe /whatever5. C:Windows
otepad.exe6. someapp.exe
I'm looking for a simple way to split the path to the application and the optional argument.Sometimes the string contains quotes around the path (1&2) and sometimes, even when the path contains spaces, the string does not contain quotes(3). And sometimes the string does not contain spaces in the path (4&5&6), but a space is used before the argument(4). And (6) is a executable without a path. I have to use the environmentvariables the find the fullpath of the executable. This string (6) can also have arguments.Is there a standard function available to do this split?
Note:I have a regex pattern to handle (1,2,4,5,6), but is doesn't work for (3), because of the spaces in the path."[ ]+(?=(?:[^""]*""[^""]*"")*(?![^""]*""))"I cannot control the strings. Some of them come from user input and some of them come from the registry.
I want to know, how to split the folder which may contain picture, audio & video file etc

I have the following windows service file:

Imports System.IO
Public Class fswService
[Code].....

If I have a file path like "C:My DocumentsImagesImage1.png", how can I get the parent folder name of the "Image1.png" file? In this case, "Images", but that's just a sample. I've looked through System.IO.Path and there doesn't seem to be anything there.
View 6 RepliesThis is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?

View 2 RepliesI was googling / searching the forums for this type of code.I want to be able create a folder within my application folder, mainly because I don't want people using my program to use a specified path to be able to use my program.
Example,If I would using a specified path It would be ("C:/Macbrutal/Foldername")And the user who would install my application surely, doesn't have macbrutal as username for windows so their path would be ("C:/User/Foldername") and that would bring my program an error, if you get me.
So to brake it down a little, Let's say my path for my program is ("C:/Macbrutal") I want my program to generate a folder where my application is located (not with specified path) which would be (C:/Macbrutal/newfolder")

View 3 RepliesHow does the exe app know where to look for its Resources folder? In the development folders of my app it is in one place relative to the GetCurrentDirectory, but in a different set of run-time folders, the relative path is different.
Is there a My.Resources property (or some other property) which knows where this folder is? System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory tells the app where it is, is there a 'System.IO.Directory.GetResourcesDirectory' (except of course I know there isn't)?
I want the user to be able to copy image files from wherever into the Resources folder without the user having to look for it (the Resources folder) themselves. I can do the OpenFileDialog1 bit myself, I just need to know where to place the chosen file.
