The Path Manipulation action allows you to perform common file path functions on a string.
Include Trailing Backslash
This action will make sure that the output string contains a trailing backslash. If the input string already has a trailing backslash, the string will not be changed.
Exclude Trailing Backslash
This action will make sure that the output string does not have a trailing backslash.
Append Directory to Delimited Path List
This action will append a directory to the end of a delimited directory list. Force trailing backslashes will force each path to end in a backslash.
Example: Appending "C:\Path4" to "C:\Path1;C:\Path2;C:\Path3" will output "C:\Path1;C:\Path2;C:\Path3;C:\Path4".
Extract File Name
This action will extract the filename, including the extension, from the input string.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Program\File.exe" will output "File.exe"

This action will extract the file path, the filename will be excluded from the string.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Program\File.exe" will output "C:\Program Files\Program\"
Extract File Drive
This action will extract the drive, the file path and name will be excluded from the string.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Program\File.exe" will output "C:"

This action will extract the file extension, the drive, path and filename will be excluded from the string.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Program\File.exe" will output ".exe"
Remove File Extension
This action will extract the full path, excluding the file extension.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Program\File.exe" will output "C:\Program Files\Program\File"
Change File Extension
This action will change the file extension of the input string, with the specified extension. The preceding . must be included with the new extension.
