void _splitpath(
const char *path,
char *drive,
char *dir,
char *fname,
char *ext
);

Parameters
path Full path
drive Optional drive letter, followed by a colon (:)
dir Optional directory path, including trailing slash. Forward
slashes ( / ), backslashes ( \ ), or both may be used.
fname Base filename (no extension)
ext Optional filename extension, including leading period (.)

This has really nothing to do with objectARX

Hello alexander,
I m sorry if my questions where toooo basic 😞

Actually I m working on Autocad-SAP interface development using VC++ as the middleware. I m currently in third year of my graduation hence I never ever worked on niether SAP nor Autocad before this I m on this project from last 2 months

ObjectARX is very new to me I dont know properly about its SDK ie what all classes are there and which all methods/funtions are there Before asking u I searched in the SDK but I could not locate anything .This was my first question after registering for this forum
Can u please tell how to efficiently search the SDK to locate what ever I need I hopre u r getting my problem.
eg : Now I dont know which class contains the function _splitpath function what parameters it takes and what exactly it does??

I m using the SDK that generally comes with ObjectARX deelopers guide

I hope u would help me further also

Thanx & Regards,
condolesaP

In that case, it may help if you were to learn basic C++
programming first, as what you may not realize is that
your questions make it somewhat obvious that you are
lacking that crucial prerequisite to AutoCAD/ObjectARX
development.

Search _splitpath at MS VS Help (press F1 buttom). It is not ObjectARX function but standard C/C++ function.

Have a look at .net API
Maybee you're more comfortable there.
There's a special newsgroup about that.
