Application.PathSeparator property (Publisher)

  • Article

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

Syntax

expression.PathSeparator

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Return value

String

Remarks

Use PathSeparator to build web addresses even though they contain forward slashes (/).

The Document.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.

Sub PathFileName() 
 
 With Application 
 MsgBox "The name of the active document: " & vbLf & _ 
 .Path & .PathSeparator & ActiveDocument.Name 
 End With 
 
End Sub
