Split Path In Drive, Path, Filename

Description

Split a full path in its components. This is specifically an issue in Windows and not really interesting for other OSs.

Usage

SplitPath(path, last.is.file = NULL)

Arguments

path	a path
last.is.file	logical, determining if the basename should be interpreted as filename or as last directory. If set to NULL (default), the last entry will be interpreted if the last character is either \ or / and as filename else.

Value

A list, containing the following components:

normpath	the normalized path as returned by normalizePath
drive	the drive if the OS is Windows, NA else
dirname	the path without directory and without filename
fullfilename	the filename including extension
filename	the filename without extension
extension	the file extension
