+The same can be done using the static method \helpref{wxFileName::DirName}{wxfilenamedirname}:

+\begin{verbatim}

Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names
-like \helpref{IsDirReadable}{wxfilenameisdirreadale} use
+like \helpref{IsDirReadable}{wxfilenameisdirreadable} use
\helpref{GetPath}{wxfilenamegetpath} whereas methods dealing
-with file names like \helpref{IsFileReadable}{wxfilenameisfilereadale}
+with file names like \helpref{IsFileReadable}{wxfilenameisfilereadable}
use \helpref{GetFullPath}{wxfilenamegetfullpath}.
If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or
a complete file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use
the static function \helpref{wxFileName::DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists}
-(or its global variant \helpref{wxDirExists}{wxdirexists}) and
-construct the wxFileName instance accordingly. This will only work
-if the directory actually exists, of course:
+(or its identical variants \helpref{wxDir::Exists}{wxdirexists} and
+\helpref{wxDirExists}{functionwxdirexists}) and construct the wxFileName
+instance accordingly. This will only work if the directory actually exists,
+of course:
\begin{verbatim}
wxString user_input;
\helpref{AssignDir}{wxfilenameassigndir}\\
\helpref{AssignHomeDir}{wxfilenameassignhomedir}\\
\helpref{AssignHomeTempFileName}{wxfilenameassigntempfilename}\\
+\helpref{DirName}{wxfilenamedirname}\\
+\helpref{FileName}{wxfilenamefilename}\\
