Path Type Function

Owning Palette: Advanced File VIs and Functions

Requires: Base Development System

Returns the type of the specified path, indicating whether it is an absolute, relative, or <Not A Path>.

This function does not verify that the path exists on the computer. It checks only the syntax of the path. Use the File/Directory Info function to verify that a file or directory exists on the computer.
