Thread: a code to filter full path

Code:

char *path_filter(char *path_exe)
{
//	char path_buffer[MAX_PATH]; 
	char drive[_MAX_DRIVE];
	char dir[_MAX_DIR];
	char fname[_MAX_FNAME];
	char ext[_MAX_EXT];

	_splitpath(path_exe ,drive, dir , fname , ext  );
	return drive dir fname;
}

i am trying to write a code to filter a full path to a exe file
for example,

"C:\\Program Files\\Webzen\\mu\\mu.exe"

after filtering by function returns

"C:\\Program Files\\Webzen\\mu"

the above is what i have tried to write but doesnt work

anything wrong?
how should i return the function?
return drive dir fname definately doesnt work

Yeah, please edit your post to put the [code][/code] tags around your code

Something like

Code:

char *path_filter(char *path_exe, char *result)
{
	char drive[_MAX_DRIVE];
	char dir[_MAX_DIR];
	char fname[_MAX_FNAME];
	char ext[_MAX_EXT];

	_splitpath(path_exe ,drive, dir , fname , ext  );
	strcpy( result, drive );
	strcat( result, dir );
	strcat( result, fname );
	return result;
}
