void main( void )
{

    // Path to include file spec.
	char buffer_1[] = "C:\\TEST\\sample.txt"; 
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

    // Print the path with the extension.
	cout << "The path with extension is          : " << lpStr1 << endl;
 
    // Call to "PathRemoveExtension".
	PathRemoveExtension(lpStr1);

	// Print the path without the extension.
	cout << "\nThe path without extension is       : " << lpStr1 << endl;

}
