UBlueprintPathsLibrary::Split

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Breaks a filename or path into its directory, base filename, and extension components in a single call.

Caveats & Gotchas

• All three outputs are reference parameters — in Blueprint this is one node with three output pins, not a returned struct.
• ExtensionPart is returned without the leading dot, unlike GetExtension(bIncludeDot=true) which can include it.
• For a path with multiple dots (e.g. "Archive.tar.gz"), only the final extension is split off; the rest stays part of FilenamePart.
