Hi all,
I have a string containing path and name of a file, like this:
"C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\..\..\SomeFile.ext". The path is correct and
I can access the file, but I would like to clean up the path for
diplay, i.e.: "C:\Dir1\SomeFile.ext". I know it wouldn't be to
hard to do the string manipulations myself, but I am too lazy 
and also quite curious if I could just ask the system for the 
clean path. Is there a command or a series of commands that 
gives/give me the cleaned up path?
