path.join: Construct Path to File

Description

Construct the path to a file from components / / paths in a platform-DEPENDENT way.

Usage

path.join(...)

Value

A character vector of the arguments concatenated term-by-term and separated by "/".

Arguments

...

character vectors.

Details

When constructing a path to a file, the last absolute path is selected and all trailing components are appended. This is different from file.path() where all trailing paths are treated as components.

Examples

Run this code
path.join("/", "test1")

path.join("/path/to/file1", "/path/to/file2")

path.join("//host-name/share-name/path/to/file1", "/path/to/file2")

path.join("testing", "/testing", "~", "~/testing", "//host",
    "//host/share", "//host/share/path/to/file", "not-an-abs-path")

path.join("/test1", "test2", "test3")

path.join("test1", "/test2", "test3", "//host/share/test4", "test5",
    "/test6", "test7", "test8", "test9")
path.join("C:", "test1")

path.join("C:/", "test1")

path.join("C:/path/to/file1", "/path/to/file2")

path.join("//host-name/share-name/path/to/file1", "/path/to/file2")

path.join("C:testing", "C:/testing", "~", "~/testing", "//host",
    "//host/share", "//host/share/path/to/file", "not-an-abs-path")

path.join("c:/test1", "c:test2", "C:test3")

path.join("test1", "c:/test2", "test3", "//host/share/test4", "test5",
    "c:/test6", "test7", "c:test8", "test9")
