File path helpers

Energy.Base.Path is helper class for working with file paths.

Let’s look at these example paths.

C:\Program Files\\\.\file.txt
C:\"Program Files"\
/mnt/c/"name / slash"/'file/1'.txt
/mnt/c\\sub\\..\\/" "" "/'file\'2\''.txt

Split

Split path into parts. Each part will contain trailing directory separator characters.

When using without specified allowed slashes it will by default allow to use both Unix-style slash characters or Windows-style backslash character as path separator.

When using without specified quotation marks it will recognize apostrophes, quotes and backticks.

string[] Energy.Base.Path.Split(string path)

string[] Energy.Base.Path.Split(string path, Energy.Base.Path.SplitFormat format)

string[] Energy.Base.Path.Split(string path, string[] slashes, string[] quotes
    , bool? doublets, bool? cstyle)

When spliting /home/desktop/file.txt it will return array with four elements.

/
home/
desktop/
file.txt

For C:\Users\Desktop\file.txt it will work similar way.

C:\
Users\
Desktop\
file.txt

Walk

Walk through relative path and return absolute path without any dot folders.

Function will also strip repeated path separators.

string Energy.Base.Path.Walk(string path, string directory)

If second parameter is omitted, current directory will be used for relative paths.

string Energy.Base.Path.Walk(string path)

ChangeSeparator

Change any directory separator to native one for compatibility.

string Energy.Base.Path.ChangeSeparator(string path)

IsSeparator

Check if file path part is directory separator or not.

Multiple separator characters are allowed.

bool Energy.Base.Path.IsSeparator(string part, string[] slashes)

bool Energy.Base.Path.IsSeparator(string part, string slashes)

bool Energy.Base.Path.IsSeparator(string part)

StripQuotation

Strip quotation marks from file path.

Converts C:”Program Files””Dir” into C:\Program Files\Dir.

string Energy.Base.Path.StripQuotation(string path)

Environment

Get array of directories from environment variable using specifed separator character.

string Energy.Base.Path.Environment(string variable, char separator)

Get array of directories from environment variable.

string Energy.Base.Path.Environment(string variable)

Get array of directories from PATH environment variable.

string Energy.Base.Path.Environment()
