Split-Path

Description
Return part of a path

Usage


Options


Example(s)
Display a list of .XLS filenames in the docs folder (don't return the whole path):

PS C:\>split-path "C:\Docs\*.xls" -leaf -resolve

Change directory to the folder containing the powershell profile:

PS C:\>Set-Location(split-path $profile -parent)

The above can be simplified with the 'cd' alias for set-location and relying on -parent being the default:

PS C:\>cd(split-path $profile)
