====== Split Path ======

The //Split Path// action (v8+) action splits a specified path into its component parts.

{{:action:split-path.png?nolink&516|}}

It is basically just a simplified version of the [[action:Search_using_Regular_Expression|Search using Regular Expression]] action specifically to split the path into the component parts.

The path is split in to:

* Parent path
* File name
* Base name — file name without the extension
* Extension

Each part can be saved into a different variable.

If the path is not absolute, the parent path will be set to /Nowhere (v8.0.3+).
