pathutil

Path::Util

Break up a file path into its components.

Usage:

use Path::Util;

my $p = Path::Util.new("d:\docs\usage.txt");
It can break-up Unix like or Dos like file paths.

say $p.getdrive; or say $p.drive; # it gets the drive letter, for Windwos only. Otherwise, it returns "".
say $p.getdir; or say $p.directory; or say $p.dir
say $p.getext; or say $p.extension
say $p.getbasename; # returns the filename without directory
say $p.getjustname; # returns the filename without directory and extension

Above also work without get.

say $p.print; # prints all components

say $p.separator; # returns the separator found in the path, it can be "" or "/" or "".

say $p.fsseparator; # returns Windows or Unix-like file separator depending where you run your script

say $p.getnumberofdirlevel; # number of levels in the directory

say $p.getdirlevel(2); # returns directory up to the second level

say $p.tocygwin(); # returns the cygwin format of a Windows path, nothing happens if it is of other kind.
e.g. /cygdrive/d/music/after.mp4

say $p.tomsys(); # returns the msysformat of a Windows path, nothing happens if it is of other kind.
e.g. /d/music/after.mp4

Also, it is possible to use them non-object oriented way.

say Path::Util.getbasename("d:\docs\usage.txt");

Extension is returned without dot. Directories are returned without ending separator.
