Can you write function that can count folders from string (%\_path%, %\_workingpath%...)?

Examples:

**$foldercount** (G:\Music\Progressive Trance\Sasha And John Digweed - Communicate\Sasha And John Digweed - Communicate Cd 1)  
RETURNS NUMBER **4**

**$foldercount** (G:\Music\Progressive Trance\Avalanche Of Sound Vol.3)  
RETURNS NUMBER **3**

**$foldercount** (%\_workingpath%)  
RETURNS NUMBER **2**  
%\_workingpath% = G:\Music\Progressive Trance\

You can use "" as separator.

~ Thanks, milka.

Maybe $folderlevel or $folderdepth is a more appropriate name for such a function, because $foldercount seems to refer to the number of subdir in a given path...

This should be possible ... I'm not sure, if it'll make it to the next release.

The new function $folderdepth(_path_) is scheduled to the next release.

Examples:  
$folderdepth(C:) =\> 0  
$folderdepth(C:\folder1\folder2) =\> 2
