Re: Re: drop down box or something like it.

And now i will lead you away from the awful abomination that some call  
"xtextedit" and it's mangled, mutated syntax ( for which nothing but  
litestep is to blame for ) to the holy light of (actually reuseable) lua  
greatness:

function split ( p )
   -- yeah the pattern looks more complex, but thats because its alot more  
powerfull and works generally ^^
   return {p:gsub("/","\\"):match("^(.-)\\?((%w+)%.?(%w-))\\?$")}		
end

function basename( p )
   return split( p )[2]
end

function dirname( p )
   return split( p )[1]
end


--test code
path = "G:\\asdf\\Neuer Ordner\\test\\test.asd"
path2 = "test.asdf"
print( basename( path ) ) --> test.asd
print( dirname( path ) ) --> G:\asdf\Neuer Ordner\test
print ( basename(path2)) --> test.asdf
print( dirname( path2 )) --> ''

Now, join me in my neverending quest to build, provide and use a nice  
lslua library ^^
