The
filepath
package provides functions to parse
and construct
file paths
in a way that is portable
between operating systems;
dir/file
on Linux vs.
dir\file
on Windows, for example.
|
package
main
|
|
import
(
"fmt"
"path/filepath"
"strings"
)
|
|
func
main
()
{
|
Join
should be used to construct paths in a
portable way. It takes any number of arguments
and constructs a hierarchical path from them.
|
p
:=
filepath
.
Join
(
"dir1"
,
"dir2"
,
"filename"
)
fmt
.
Println
(
"p:"
,
p
)
|
You should always use
Join
instead of
concatenating
/
s or
\
s manually. In addition
to providing portability,
Join
will also
normalize paths by removing superfluous separators
and directory changes.
|
fmt
.
Println
(
filepath
.
Join
(
"dir1//"
,
"filename"
))
fmt
.
Println
(
filepath
.
Join
(
"dir1/../dir1"
,
"filename"
))
|
Dir
and
Base
can be used to split a path to the
directory and the file. Alternatively,
Split
will
return both in the same call.
|
fmt
.
Println
(
"Dir(p):"
,
filepath
.
Dir
(
p
))
fmt
.
Println
(
"Base(p):"
,
filepath
.
Base
(
p
))
|
We can check whether a path is absolute.
|
fmt
.
Println
(
filepath
.
IsAbs
(
"dir/file"
))
fmt
.
Println
(
filepath
.
IsAbs
(
"/dir/file"
))
|
|
filename
:=
"config.json"
|
Some file names have extensions following a dot. We
can split the extension out of such names with
Ext
.
|
ext
:=
filepath
.
Ext
(
filename
)
fmt
.
Println
(
ext
)
|
To find the file’s name with the extension removed,
use
strings.TrimSuffix
.
|
fmt
.
Println
(
strings
.
TrimSuffix
(
filename
,
ext
))
|
Rel
finds a relative path between a
base
and a
target
. It returns an error if the target cannot
be made relative to base.
|
rel
,
err
:=
filepath
.
Rel
(
"a/b"
,
"a/b/t/file"
)
if
err
!=
nil
{
panic
(
err
)
}
fmt
.
Println
(
rel
)
|
|
rel
,
err
=
filepath
.
Rel
(
"a/b"
,
"a/c/t/file"
)
if
err
!=
nil
{
panic
(
err
)
}
fmt
.
Println
(
rel
)
}
