FUNCTION: STRIPPATH DESCRIPTION: Function that strips off any directory components from a full file path, and returns the file name and directory components seperately in the structure: {file_cmp_str,file_name:'file',dir_name:'dir'} This is only implemented for UNIX at this time. USAGE (SAMPLE CODE FRAGMENT): ; find file component of /usr/lib/sendmail.cf stripped_file = STRIPPATH('/usr/lib/sendmail.cf') The variable stripped_file would contain: stripped_file.file_name = 'sendmail.cf' stripped_file.dir_name = '/usr/lib/' REVISION HISTORY: $LastChangedBy: kenb-mac $ $LastChangedDate: 2006-12-15 08:13:48 -0800 (Fri, 15 Dec 2006) $ $LastChangedRevision: 97 $ $URL: svn+ssh://thmsvn@ambrosia.ssl.berkeley.edu/repos/spdsoft/trunk/general/misc/strippath.pro $ Originally written by Jonathan M.
