Modern Fs PathComponents

Home › Filesystem › Filesystem Library › PathComponents

PathComponents

Returns the parts of a path as written, drive and root included, for a for each loop.

Syntax

PathComponents( p [, gram ] )

Notes

• The pieces of p, in order, as written: no normalisation, except that a "." after the first component is dropped.
• Under the Windows grammar a root splits into a PATH_PREFIX ("C:", a UNC share, a \?\ or \.\ form) and the PATH_ROOT separator after it; "C:x" has a prefix and no root.
• PathComponentList( p, comps [, gram ] ) fills an Array( of PathComponent ) instead.

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

for each c in PathComponents( "/usr/./lib/../bin", FB_PATH_POSIX )
    print c.Kind( ), c.Text( )
next
''  1  /
''  4  usr
''  4  lib
''  3  ..
''  4  bin
