IsSamePath Function

Overview

The IsSamePath function tests if two paths with different filenames are in the same location.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

boolean = IsSamePath ( string a, string b );

Parameters

a   b

A string containing a filename with a fully qualified path.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if name1 and name2 exist in the same location or FALSE if they do not.

Remarks

An empty string does not count as a path. If the raw test of paths is false, the source strings will be tested as basic paths (no filename with no trailing delimiter) and the test will be repeated. Therefore, if:

A — X:\My Files\List 1

B — X:\My Files\List 1\File A.txt

If the actual path A does not exist, the function will fail since path A is ambiguous.

Short paths names (8.3) compared to long path names are not allowed.
