Vista - Remove characters in a string

Hello

I've got a string ->ScriptName = wscript.Scriptfullname and the actually
path is c:\testfolder\myprogram\script.vbs

I'm wanting to remove the script.vbs so I only have c:\testfolder\myprogram\
so I'm removing the last 10 characters or up to the \

How do I do that?

1. Use the "InStrRev" function to determine the position of the right-most
backslash.
2. Use the "left" function to extract the leftmost x characters.
If unsure how to use these functions, check the examples in the helpfile
script56.chm, downloadable from the Microsoft site.

actually altering the string, as follows ...

sVirtualPath = ScriptName & "\.."

or use the FSO GetParentFolderName to strip off the script's name ...

sPath = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")_
.GetParentFolderName(ScriptName) & "\"

or maybe this little trick ...

sPath = replace(wsh.ScriptFullName, wsh.ScriptName, "")

The first one is functional, but not acceptable for displaying the
information. The second is the 'official' way to do it. While the
third approach is the one I prefer.
