Find closed sub directory with full text search





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have a simple table with registered directory names inside a full text indexed varchar column.



For example:




  1. 'c:Dir1'

  2. 'c:Dir1Sub1'

  3. 'c:Dir1Sub2'

  4. 'c:Dir2'

  5. 'c:Dir3'


I now need to find the closest subdirectory to file paths like:



'c:Dir1File.txt' -> 'c:Dir1'



'c:Dir1Sub2File.txt' -> 'c:Dir1Sub2'



'c:Dir2Sub1SubSub1File.txt' -> 'c:Dir2'



All my efforts with CONTAINS and NEAR failed.
Can somebody help me how I can solve this with text search?

    This seems like standard string pattern matching and not what full text was designed for at all...
