Manipulate file paths

Source: R/path.R
path_file.Rd

  • path_file() returns the filename portion of the path

  • path_dir() returns the directory portion of the path

  • 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.

Examples

path_file("dir/file.zip")
#> [1] "file.zip"

path_dir("dir/file.zip")
#> [1] "dir"

path_ext("dir/file.zip")
#> [1] "zip"

path_ext("file.tar.gz")
#> [1] "gz"

path_ext_remove("file.tar.gz")
#> [1] "file.tar"

# Only one level of extension is removed
path_ext_set(path_ext_remove("file.tar.gz"), "zip")
#> file.zip
