Returns a file path with standardized separators (separators corresponding to the ones for the current platform for example).
Remark: This function is very useful when using a WLanguage code run on several platforms (Windows/Linux for example) and that handles a file path.
// 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. Remark: <Result> and <Initial path> have the same type. 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 be: - a character string: all the separators (\ and /) found in the <Initial path> parameter will be replaced with this string.
- one of the following constants:
| |
fSeparatorPlatform
(Default value) | The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the separator corresponding to the current platform. |
| fSeparatorUnix | The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the '/' separator. |
| fSeparatorWindows | The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced with the '\' separator. |
