OK Michelle,

I think I'm _almost_ understood what you need (or perhaps not ;-) let's see:

It seems obvious at this time that just counting the number of dots in 
the strings is not what you need/want, as this is trivial in C.

So would you like to build a function in C that receiving as argument a 
string like:

	~/INBOX/ returns ~/INBOX/
	/INBOX.ML_devel/ returns .ML_devel/
	/INBOX.ML_devel.djgpp/ returns .djgpp/

Is it there near of your needs?
