Returns a file path with standardized separators (separators corresponding to the ones for the current platform for example).
Note This function is very useful when using WLanguage code running on multiple platforms (Windows/Linux, for example) and manipulating a file path.
Example
// Renvoie un chemin de type Unix
Trace(fSeparator(fCurrentDir(), fSeparatorUnix))

// Renvoie un chemin de type Windows
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.
