class Path

package haxe.io

This class provides a convenient way of working with paths. It supports the common path formats:

  • directory1/directory2/filename.extension
  • directory1\directory2\filename.extension

Constructor

new (path:String)

Creates a new Path instance by parsing path.

Path information can be retrieved by accessing the dir, file and ext properties.

Variables

backslash:Bool

True if the last directory separator is a backslash, false otherwise.

dir:String

The directory.

This is the leading part of the path that is not part of the file name and the extension.

Does not end with a / or \ separator.

If the path has no directory, the value is null.

ext:String

The file extension.

It is separated from the file name by a dot. This dot is not part of the extension.

If the path has no extension, the value is null.

file:String

The file name.

This is the part of the part between the directory and the extension.

If there is no file name, e.g. for ".htaccess" or "/dir/", the value is the empty String "".

Methods

toString ():String

Returns a String representation of this path.

If this.backslash is true, backslash is used as directory separator, otherwise slash is used. This only affects the separator between this.dir and this.file.

If this.directory or this.extension is null, their representation is the empty String "".

Static methods

staticextension (path:String):String

Returns the extension of path.

If the extension is null, the empty String "" is returned.

If path is null, the result is unspecified.

staticnormalize (path:String):String

Normalize a given path (e.g. make '/usr/local/../lib' to '/usr/lib').

Also replaces backslashes \ with slashes / and afterwards turns multiple slashes into a single one.

If path is null, the result is unspecified.

staticwithoutExtension (path:String):String

Returns the String representation of path without the file extension.

If path is null, the result is unspecified.
