GetDrivePart()

[IdeasVacuum]

We have GetPathPart(), GetFilePart() and GetExtensionPart().
GetDrivePart() is missing

isnt "Drive:" just a Windows thing though? like would you return /mnt/something on Linux or? another thing to consider is other path formats on Windows like UNC "\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource" or Long UNC "\\?\UNC\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource"

btw i wouldn't mind a GetProgramPath(), life's too short for GetPathPart(ProgramFilename()) hehe #mygrowinglistof1stworldproblems

Old topic, although even older feature request of the same at viewtopic.php?t=30585 by PB Tue Jan 15, 2008. I agree, would be convenient feature to complement the existing filesystem library but I do understand Drive being part of the command name would be misleading under the other OSes. How abouts GetRootPart(), better?
