fSeparator (Function)

In french: fSéparateur

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.

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.
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 correspond to:
a character string: all the separators (\ and /) found in the <Initial path> parameter will be replaced by this string.
one of the following constants:
fSeparatorPlatform
(Default value) The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced by the separator corresponding to the current platform.
fSeparatorUnix The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced by the '/' separator.
fSeparatorWindows The separators ('\' and '/') will be replaced by the '\' separator.
