+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxFileName dirname( wxT("C:\mydir"), wxEmptyString );
+MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );

+
+If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or

+the static function \helpref{wxFileName::DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists}
+(or its identical variants \helpref{wxDir::Exists}{wxdirexists} and

+
+This function splits a full file name into components: the volume (with the
+first version) path (including the volume in the second version), the base name
+and the extension. Any of the output parameters ({\it volume}, {\it path}, 
+{\it name} or {\it ext}) may be {\tt NULL} if you are not interested in the
+value of a particular component. Also, {\it fullpath} may be empty on entry.

 
 

-\func{void}{SplitPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{fullpath}, \param{wxString* }{path}, \param{wxString* }{name}, \param{wxString* }{ext}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
+On return, {\it path} contains the file path (without the trailing separator), 
+{\it name} contains the file name and {\it ext} contains the file extension
+without leading dot. All three of them may be empty if the corresponding
+component is. The old contents of the strings pointed to by these parameters
+will be overwritten in any case (if the pointers are not {\tt NULL}).
+
+Note that for a filename ``foo.'' the extension is present, as indicated by the
+trailing dot, but empty. If you need to cope with such cases, you should use 
+\arg{hasExt} instead of relying on testing whether \arg{ext} is empty or not.
