    Description

    ExtractFilePath returns the path part (including drive letter) from FileName. The path consists of all characters before the last directory separator character ('/' or '\'), including the directory separator itself. In case there is only a drive letter, that will be returned.

    The full filename can always be reconstructed by concatenating the result of ExtractFilePath and ExtractFileName.

    For an example, see ExtractFileDir.
