Path Heater, forming and extracting file names and paths

heater pathThe Path Heater allows you to flexibly compose paths and filenames and/or extract specific components of a path specification. The Heater will assemble a complete path and filename when given several inputs, following the sequence in which they are supplied. These individual components of the path are joined with the backslash character “\” as a separator.

Note: When joining paths to combine several inputs, any existing backslash characters that would be duplicated by the insertion of extra separators are automatically eliminated.

Settings

Complete (absolute) path: The absolute device and path is returned.

File name: Extracts the file name part of the path specification, complete with extension.

File name without extension: Extracts the file name part of the path specification, without extension.

Extension (such as .csv): Returns the file name extension (file type) including the dot prefix, e.g.“.csv”

Folder (directory) name: Delivers the underlying folder name.
