get a filename or direktoryname
is it possible to get a directoryname or filename, if you only knows the path of the parent Directory?

for Example:

d:\rootdir\parentdir\searchedDir

- in parentdir is only searchedDir, but i dontknow the name of searchedDir or searchedDir kan have a name, which i dont know at this time an i need the searchedDir as a String

  SetOutPath '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS\$reportstruts_Path${TestDB}'
  File /r '${copiedfiles_Path}\Reportstruts\${reportstruts_Path}${TestDB}'
  
FunctionEnd


Function found
  ; $R9    "path\name"

I want copy a Directory, in 1 parent Directory with 2 different Directorynames which contains the string of the copied Directory

Example:

From:

d:\copiedfiles\Dir_27

To:

e:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Dir_27
and
e:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Dir_27_test

and with locate i get the name from the Directory, because the name can be different.

for _test i have the Variable ${TestDB} which is a global define in the installer

The Problem is, that the Installer says "-> no files found."

Is there a other solution for the Problem.

actually, this is my horrible solution, but i want to improve it


Var /global reportstruts_Path
  ${Locate} "${copiedfiles_Path}\Reportstruts" "/L=D /M=*strut*" "found"
  
  SetOutPath '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS' #\$reportstruts_Path'
  File /r '${copiedfiles_Path}\Reportstruts\reportstruts*.*'
  
  #Messagebox MB_OK "reportstruts_path:$reportstruts_Path"
  
  Strcmp $TestDB_checked '1' 0 apache_tomcat_noTestDB
  
  SetOutPath '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS\tmp'
  File /r '${copiedfiles_Path}\Reportstruts\reportstruts*.*'
  rename '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS\tmp\$reportstruts_Path' '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS\$reportstruts_Path${TestDB}'
  rmdir '$Tomcat_Path_to_Verify\WEBAPPS\tmp'
