place = C:\test\folder1\message.txt
SplitPath, place , OutFileName
msgbox, %OutFilename%

The above returns "message.txt" which is correct.

place = C:\test\folder1
SplitPath, place , OutFileName
msgbox, %OutFilename%

This returns "folder1"..... problem.

This could be a file named "folder1" with no extension.... but in this case it was a folder.... but Splitpath returned it like a file =/

Is there anyway to check if "C:\test\folder1" points to a file or a folder ?

Thought Splitpath would take care of it... but it seems it just split up a string and never actually check to see if it is file or a folder.

help plx =)

You guessed right, SplitPath is a string operation, independent of the file system. It can even be used with URLs... Or paths on non-connected drives, and so on.
To check wheter you have a file or a directory, use the FileExist() function.
