BuildPath Method 

Appends a name to an existing path.

object.BuildPath(path, name) 

Arguments

• object
  Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

• path
  Required. Existing path to which name is appended. Path can be absolute or relative and need not specify an existing folder.

• name
  Required. Name being appended to the existing path.

Remarks

The BuildPath method inserts an additional path separator between the existing path and the name, only if necessary.

The following example illustrates use of the BuildPath method.

function GetBuildPath(path)

{

   var fso, newpath;

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

   newpath = fso.BuildPath(path, "New   Folder");

   return(newpath);

}   

Function GetBuildPath(path)

   Dim fso, newpath

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   newpath = fso.BuildPath(path, "Sub Folder") 

   GetBuildPath = newpath

End Function
