Files.splitPath: Split path into components

In sciserver/SciScript-R: Package for accessing SciServer tools.

Description

If the top volume in the 'path' is a rootVolume, then this function splits the path of the form rootVolume/userVolumeOwner/userVolume/relativePath/... and returns the vector c(rootVolume, userVolumeOwner, userVolume, relativePath, True). On the other hand, if the top volume in the 'path' is a dataVolume, then this function splits the path of the form dataVolume/relativePath/... and returns the vector c(dataVolume, None, None, relativePath, False).

Usage

Jobs.splitPath(path, fileService)

Arguments

path	file system path (string), starting from the root volume level. Example: rootVolume/userVolumeOwner/userVolume/relativePath...
fileService	name of fileService (string), or object (list) that defines a file service. A list of these kind of objects available to the user is returned by the function Files.getFileServices().

Value

a string vector containing the five components: (topVolume, userVolumeOwner, userVolume, relativePath, isTopVolumeARootVolume)
