path_file: Manipulate file paths

In fs: Cross-Platform File System Operations Based on 'libuv'

Manipulate file paths

Description

path_file() returns the filename portion of the path, path_dir() returns the directory portion. path_ext() returns the last extension (if any) for a path. path_ext_remove() removes the last extension and returns the rest of the path. path_ext_set() replaces the extension with a new extension. If there is no existing extension the new extension is appended.

Usage

path_file(path)

path_dir(path)

path_ext(path)

path_ext_remove(path)

path_ext_set(path, ext)

path_ext(path) <- value

Arguments

path	A character vector of one or more paths.
ext, value	The new file extension.

Details

Note because these are not full file paths they return regular character vectors, not fs_path() objects.
