Application.PathSeparator Property

Publisher Developer Reference

Returns a String that represents the character used to separate folder names. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.PathSeparator

expression   A variable that represents a Application object.

Return Value
String

Remarks

You can use PathSeparator to build Web addresses even though they contain forward slashes (/).

The FullName property returns the path and file name as a single string.

For worldwide compatibility, we recommend that you use this property when building paths, rather than referring explicitly to path separator characters in code (for example, "/").

Example

This example displays the path and file name of the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Sub PathFileName()
With Application
    MsgBox "The name of the active document: " & vbLf & _
        .Path &amp; .<strong>PathSeparator</strong> &amp; ActiveDocument.Name
End With

End Sub
