The GetDriveName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path. |
The following example illustrates the use of the GetDriveName method.
JScript | ![]() |
---|---|
function GetDriveLetter(path) { var fso, s =""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s += fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(path))); return(s); } |
Visual Basic Script | ![]() |
---|---|
Function GetAName(DriveSpec) Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") GetAName = fso.GetDriveName(Drivespec) End Function |
