Path

The Path object represents a file or folder path. Many objects have properties that return a Path - for example, Tab.path returns the current folder in a tab as a Path object. You can create a new Path object from a string (or another Path) using the DOpus.FSUtil.NewPath method.

Property Name	Return Type	Description
<default value>	string	Returns the full path as a string.
components	int	Returns the number of components in the path.
disks	Vector:int	Returns a Vector of ints representing the physical disk drive or drives that this path resides on.
drive	int	Returns the drive number the path refers to (1=A, 2=B, etc.) or 0 if the path does not specify a drive.
ext	string	Returns the filename extension of the path (the sub-string extending from the last . in the final component to the end of the string). This method does not check if the path actually refers to a file. You can also change a path's file extension by setting this property (and strip the extension altogether by setting it to an empty string).
filepart	string	Returns the filename part of the path (the last component).
pathpart	string	Returns the path minus the last component.
test_parent	bool	Returns True if a call to the Parent method would succeed.
test_root	bool	Returns True if a call to the Root method would succeed.

Method Name	Arguments	Return Type	Description
Add	<string:name>	none	Adds the specified name to the path (it will become the last component).
Parent	none	bool	Removes the last component of the path. Returns False if the path does not have a valid parent.
Root	none	bool	Strips off all but the first component of the path. Returns False if the path is already at the root.
Set	<string:path> or <Path:path>	none	Sets the path represented by the Path object to the specified string. You can also set one Path object to the value of another.
