Hi all, I want get the ExeName and file path from a string with API,
I know ExtractFilePath and ExtractFileName in BCB,
Is there a API and do that?

No.  The VCL has to parse the filename manually.  So will you, if you don't
want to use the VCL functions.

Hi Remy, thank you,
but could you tell me how to parse the filename manually,
if there is no command line parameter,
GetCommandLine() return the completed filename,
but how to parse if there is some command line parameter.
for example: C:\temp\test.exe /u /c /l
how to extract the path and pure filename in this case.
TIA

If all you want is the filename of the module that is being executed,
regardless of the command line parameters passed to it, then have a look at
simply calling GetModuleFileName() instead of trying to parse the return
value of GetCommandLine():

    char filename[MAX_PATH+1] = {0};
    GetModuleFileName(NULL, filename, MAX_PATH);
    // use filename as needed
