Syntax:

     $[p,string]

In this transformation, NMAKE32 will return the path portion of string. If there is no drive or path specified in string, this transformation will return an empty string; otherwise, it may contain a drive specifier, a path specification, or both.

Example:

The following path transformation:

     $[p,D:\MAKE\TEST.FIL]

returns:

     D:\MAKE\

Note: Unlike the directory transformation, the path transformation always ends with a path separator (if path information is present in string)
