Standardize paths
Standardi[sz]e path names so that they can be more easily compared.
Usage
standardize_path(x = dir(), sep = c("/", "\\"), include_names = TRUE)
standardise_path(x = dir(), sep = c("/", "\\"), include_names = TRUE)Arguments
- x
- A character vector of file paths. Defaults to files in the current directory.
- sep
- String separator between directory levels in the output.
- include_names
- A logical value indicating whether the output should be named with the input file paths.
Details
standardize_path wraps normalizePath,
providing additional tweaks to the output.
- Missing inputs always return
NA_character_. - Leading double back slashes are preserved under all OSes regardless of
the values of
sep. - Leading double forward slashes are converted to double back slash under Windows (they are likely UNC paths), and a single forward slash under Unixes (they are likely absolute paths).
- Other back and forward slashes are replaced by
sep. - Paths are always made absolute.
- Trailing slashes are always stripped, except for root (
"/") and Windows drives ("C:/", etc.). - Windows drives are always capitalized.
Value
-
A character vector of paths, pointing to the same locations as the
input, but in a standardized form.
