As Daniel pointed out earlier in this thread path::get-directory-name is just a wrapper around Path.GetDirectoryName() so it would be entirely inconsistent to change it's behavior. Most NAnt functions are wrappers around .NET functions, they should do exactly what the .NET function does, as is true in this case.
If you need something custom write a custom function. That's what you'd do in .NET code, so do the same in NAnt. HTH, Sam ------------------------------------------- We're Hiring!

I just tried and not producing the expected result.. path::get-directory-name("c:\my-folder\") returns the full path of the parent folder and path::get-directory-name("c:\my-folder\*.*") returns the full path of the folder. In this example, the result would have been "my-folder". I still believe that if the function is called "get-directory-name", it should return the name of the directory both if the path is a directory and if the path is a file. Since the string::substring() doesn't have a overload in which i shouldn't provide the length of the substring, I think I'll make a path function that would provide the directory info i need.
