Resolving relative filenames from project

Hello,
is there an easy way I can resolve the relative filenames in a project
table to the full path so I can list all the source files and their full
path in a project?

eg:

I have a project: "j:\dev\costing\kmcost.pjx"

In that table, the first record has a name field of
"j:\dev\costing\kmcost.pjx". There are also a bunch of source files with
names such as
"..\\common\c_det3.prg"

Is there an easy way to resolve that to "j:\dev\common\c_det3.prg" or do I
have to parse the ".." stuff myself?

Hi Andrew,

In Vfp you can use the project.Files collection
? _vfp.ActiveProject.Files[1].Name
I believe in FoxPro 2.x you may need to make your own procedure.
Would FullPath() work for you?

Andrew,
path = justpath(fullpath('filename'))
Will come back with the location of the file.

FULLPATH() - just what I want. I was so busy looking in foxtools help that I
didn't realise it was a built in function ;)

I have had the same problem. Can't find it because it is to close to
my nose sometimes.
