CompleteDir (Function)

In french: ComplèteRep

Adds a directory separator ("\" or "/" according to the runtime platform) to the end of a string, if necessary.

This function is useful for building full file names when the path format is unknown (e.g., if the user types a file path).

Versions 15 and later

This function is now available for Android applications.

New in version 15

This function is now available for Android applications.

Example

Res = CompleteDir(FilePath) + "Document.Doc"
Res = CompleteDir("c:\temp") // Returns "c:\temp\"
Res = CompleteDir("c:\temp\") // Returns "c:\temp\"
Res = CompleteDir("\CCS\\Dir2\user\") // Returns "\CCS\\Dir2\user\"
Res = CompleteDir("") // Returns ""

Res = CompleteDir(" /root/file ") // Returns "/root/file/"
Res = CompleteDir("") // Returns ""

Syntax

<Result> = CompleteDir(<String to check>)

<Result>: Character string

String that ends in a directory separator.
Empty string if <String to check> corresponds to an empty string ("").

<String to check>: Character string

String to check and complete, if necessary. This character string is not modified.

Remarks

Spaces

Caution: The leading and trailing spaces in <String to check> are removed (identical to NoSpace).

CompleteDir and UNICODE

If the string passed as a parameter is an ANSI string, the result will be an ANSI string.

If the string passed as a parameter is a UNICODE string, the result will be a UNICODE string.

Remark: If the result of CompleteDir on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and vice versa), the conversion will be implicitly performed.

For more details, see Managing UNICODE.
