Instance Method Details

- (Object) +(extra_path)

Deprecated.

Use the #/ (slash) method instead. This method does not show clearly if a path is being added or if a string should be added to the filename

An alias for #/.

# File 'lib/filepath/filepath.rb', line 78

def +(extra_path)
	warn "FilePath#+ is deprecated, use FilePath#/ instead."
	return self / extra_path
end

- (FilePath) /(extra_path)

Appends another path to the current path.

Examples:

Append a string


"a/b".as_path / "c" #=> <a/b/c>

Append another FilePath


home = (ENV["HOME"] || "/root").as_path
conf_dir = '.config'.as_path

home / conf_dir #=> </home/user/.config>

Parameters:

  • extra_path (FilePath, String) —

    the path to be appended to the current path

Returns:

  • (FilePath) —

    a new path with the given path appended

# File 'lib/filepath/filepath.rb', line 58

def /(extra_path)
	return FilePath.join(self, extra_path)
end

- (boolean) ==(other)

Note:

this method compares the normalized versions of the paths

Checks whether two paths are equivalent.

Two paths are equivalent when they have the same normalized segments.

A relative and an absolute path will always be considered different. To compare relative paths to absolute path, expand first the relative path using FilePath::FilesystemInfo#absolute_path or FilePath::FilesystemInfo#real_path.

Examples:


path1 = "foo/bar".as_path
path2 = "foo/bar/baz".as_path
path3 = "foo/bar/baz/../../bar".as_path

path1 == path2            #=> false
path1 == path2.parent_dir #=> true
path1 == path3            #=> true

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (boolean) —

    whether the other path is equivalent to the current path

# File 'lib/filepath/filepath.rb', line 649

def ==(other)
	return self.normalized_segments == other.as_path.normalized_segments
end

- (Fixnum?) =~(pattern)

Parameters:

  • pattern (Regexp, Object) —

    the pattern to match against this path

Returns:

  • (Fixnum, nil) —

    the position of the pattern in the path, or nil if there is no match

def =~(pattern)
	return self.to_s =~ pattern
end

- (Boolean) absolute?

Examples:


"/tmp".absolute?   #=> true
"tmp".absolute?    #=> false
"../tmp".absolute? #=> false

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether the current path is absolute

    Replaces the file extension with the supplied one. If the file has no extension it is added to the file name together with a dot.

    Examples:

    Extension replacement

    
src_path = "pages/about.markdown".as_path
html_path = src_path.with_extension("html")
html_path.to_s #=> "pages/about.html"

    Parameters:

    • new_ext (String) —

      the new extension

    Returns:

    • (FilePath) —

      a new path with the replaced extension

    The #without_extension method provides the same functionality but has a more meaningful name.

    Examples:

    
post_file = "post/welcome.html"
post_url = post_file.with_extension(nil)
post_url.to_s #=> "post/welcome"

    Returns:

    • (FilePath) —
