How can I know if one path belongs to a subdirectory of another? This seems to be a nontrivial problem.

Hi

SuperStrict

Global sourcePath:String=RealPath(RequestDir("Select parent dir"))
Global testPath:String=RealPath(RequestDir("Select dir to test"))

If Left(testPath,sourcePath.length)=sourcePath
	Print testPath+" is a subdirectory of "+sourcePath
Else
	Print testPath+" is not a subdirectory of "+sourcePath
EndIf


Enjoy
