Combines a folder path and the name of a folder or file and returns the combination with valid path separators.
Syntax
object.BuildPath (path, name)
The BuildPath method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject. |
| path | Required. Existing path with which name is combined. Path can be absolute or relative and need not specify an existing folder. |
| name | Required. Name of a folder or file being appended to the existing path. |
Remarks
The BuildPath method inserts an additional path separator between the existing path and the name, only if necessary.
Examples
The following code illustrates the use of the BuildPath method.
Sub BuildPathDemo()
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Debug.Print fso.BuildPath("D:\ArtWork", "ReadMe.txt")
Debug.Print fso.BuildPath("D:\ArtWork\", "ReadMe.txt")
Debug.Print fso.BuildPath("..", "ReadMe.txt")
End SubResult:
D:\ArtWork\ReadMe.txt
D:\ArtWork\ReadMe.txt
