Re: Solved. Odd, is it not? mkdir 'e:\' cannot be undone by rmdir 'e:\' ...

Hi Ken,

The ball is your court now. Having said that, in case of multiple trailing
dirseps, your code will reattach the last one.

My code will reattach the first dirsep, not the last one.

And dirseps can be both \ and /.

But again, the ball is your court now ...

Regards,
Henri
