Returns a file path with standardized separators (separators corresponding to the ones for the current platform for example).
Note: This function is very useful for using WLanguage code running on several platforms (Windows/Linux for example) and which manipulates a file path.
Example
// Returns a Unix path
Trace(fSeparator(fCurrentDir(), fSeparatorUnix))

// Returns a Windows path
Trace(fSeparator(fCurrentDir(), fSeparatorWindows))
Syntax
<Result> = fSeparator(<Initial path> [, <Separator>])
<Result>: Character string
Standardized path.
Note: <Result> is of the same type as the <Initial Path> parameter. For example, if <Initial path> is an ANSI character string, <Result> will also be an ANSI character string.
<Initial path>: Character string (ANSI or Unicode)
Directory or file path to standardize.
<Separator>: Optional character string or constant of Integer type
Separator to use for standardizing the path. Can correspond to:
  • or to a character string: all separators (\ and /) found in the <Chemin initial> parameter will be replaced by this string..
  • one of the following constants:
    fSeparatorPlatform
    (Default value)
    The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the separator corresponding to the current platform.
    fSeparatorUnixThe separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the '/' separator.
    fSeparatorWindowsThe separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the '\' separator.
