FPARSE
corresponding vector parameter points to:
vector 32-bit signed integer array (optional)
Returns vectors, one per element, for the requested
item .
NOTE A vector cannot be passed without a corresponding item value.
Information is returned as follows:
Bits Value/Meaning
16:16 Return the length of the string specified by the corresponding
items
parameter.
If zero is returned, the requested item in
formaldesig was not specified.
0:16
Return the offset, in bytes, from the base of the formaldesig parameter to the
first element of the string segment specified by the corresponding item
parameter.
The last element returns the file designator length passed in
formaldesig (bits (16:16)) and the default type (bits (0:16)) if the result
parameter indicates a system file.
NOTE It is not recommended that applications parse file names on their own.
Instead, use the FPARSE intrinsic to do so.
