bool Geo::PathUtils::AppendFileSeparator
public: bool AppendFileSeparator
(
GeoFileString & path
)
This will append a \ (or /) to the end of the string if one isn't already there.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::Canonicalize
public: GeoFileString Canonicalize
(
const char * in
)
This will standardise a filename to the appropriate platform.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::Canonicalize
public: GeoFileString Canonicalize
(
const Geo::GeoFileString & in
)
This will standardise a filename to the appropriate platform.
bool Geo::PathUtils::CropAfterFileExtension
public: bool CropAfterFileExtension
(
GeoFileString & path
)
This will remove the string beyond and including the last .
if there is one. If there isn't one it won't do anything.
Returns
True if the string was cropped.
bool Geo::PathUtils::CropAfterLastFileSeparator
public: bool CropAfterLastFileSeparator
(
GeoFileString & path
)
This will remove the string beyond and including the last file separator if there is one.
If there isn't one it won't do anything.
Returns
True if the string was cropped.
bool Geo::PathUtils::CropBeforeFileExtension
public: bool CropBeforeFileExtension
(
GeoFileString & path
)
This will remove the string upto and including the last .
if there is one. If there isn't one it won't do anything.
Returns
True if the string was cropped.
bool Geo::PathUtils::CropBeforeLastFileSeparator
public: bool CropBeforeLastFileSeparator
(
GeoFileString & path
)
This will remove the string up to and including the last file separator if there is one.
If there isn't one it won't do anything.
Returns
True if the string was cropped.
GeoArray<GeoFileString> Geo::PathUtils::ExtractArguments
public: GeoArray< GeoFileString > ExtractArguments
(
GeoFileString commandlineParams,
GeoArray< GeoFileString > argArray
)
This function breaks arguments up into tokens and handles filenames with spaces by using quotes.
Geo::s32 Geo::PathUtils::ExtractDirectories
public: Geo::s32 ExtractDirectories
(
const GeoFileString & path,
GeoFileString dirs
)
Splits a given path into an array of directory names.
Parameters
| [in] | path | The path to split. |
| [inout] | dirs | The resulting directory names. The final filename section is discarded. |
Returns
The number of entries in the dirs array.
Note
This function is extremely dangerous as it makes no attempt to range check before adding to the dirs array. As a consequence, if the dirs array is too short, it will trash memory. The function should be modified to add a maxDirs parameter.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetApplicationPath

const GeoFileString & path

This will remove the string beyond and including the last file separator if there is one.
If there isn't one it won't do anything.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetDriveName
public: GeoFileString GetDriveName
(
const GeoFileString & path
)
Extracts the drive letter of a given path. Valid only on platforms with multiple filesystem roots.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetEnvString
public: GeoFileString GetEnvString
(
const char * envName
)
Retrieves the value of an Environment variable. May not be available outside Windows platform.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetFileName
public: GeoFileString GetFileName
(
const GeoFileString & path

This will remove the string before and including the last file separator if there is one.
If there isn't one it won't do anything.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetFileNameWithoutExtension
public: GeoFileString GetFileNameWithoutExtension
(
const GeoFileString & path
)
This will remove the string before and including the last file separator if there is one.
This will remove the string beyond and including the last . if there is one. If there isn't one it won't do anything.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetSandboxDataPath
public: GeoFileString GetSandboxDataPath()
Returns the path to the application's data path, for platforms that provide application sandboxes.
GeoFileString Geo::PathUtils::GetTemporaryPath

Returns the path to the Windows folder. Not available outside Windows platform.
bool Geo::PathUtils::IsAbsoluteFilePath
public: bool IsAbsoluteFilePath
(
const char * path
)
Returns the true if file string is an absolute path to a file, and false if it is relative.
bool Geo::PathUtils::MakePathRelative
