home_dir := ...   // '/home/prantlf' or r'C:\Users\prantlf'
dirname(home_dir) // returns '/home' or r'C:\Users'

Installation

You can install this package either from VPM or from GitHub:

v install --git https://github.com/prantlf/v-path

API

The following functions are exported:

basename(path string) string

Theis method returns the last portion of a path, similar to the POSIX basename command. Trailing directory separators are ignored.

home_dir := ...         // '/home/prantlf' or r'C:\Users\prantlf'
path.basename(home_dir) // returns 'prantlf'

dirname(path string) string

This method returns the directory name of a path, similar to the POSIX dirname command. Trailing directory separators are ignored.

home_dir := ...        // '/home/prantlf' or r'C:\Users\prantlf'
path.dirname(home_dir) // returns '/home' or r'C:\Users'

extname(path string) string

This method returns the extension of the path, from the last occurrence of the . (period) character to end of string in the last portion of the path. If there is no . in the last portion of the path, or if there are no . characters other than the first character of the basename of path (see basename above), an empty string is returned.

// sets '/home/prantlf/info.txt' or r'C:\Users\prantlf\info.txt'
info_file := os.join_path_single(os.getwd(), 'info.txt')
// returns '.txt'
path.extname(info_file)
