12 wxFileName encapsulates a file name. This class serves two purposes: first, it
13 provides the functions to split the file names into components and to recombine
14 these components in the full file name which can then be passed to the OS file
15 functions (and @ref overview_filefunctions "wxWidgets functions" wrapping them).
16 Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that
17 to change the file data you should use wxFile class instead.
18 wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes.

23324ae1
FM
20 When working with directory names (i.e. without filename and extension)
21 make sure not to misuse the file name part of this class with the last
22 directory. Instead initialize the wxFileName instance like this:
7c913512 23
23324ae1
FM
24 @code
25 wxFileName dirname( "C:\mydir", "" );
26 MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
27 @endcode
7c913512 28
23324ae1 29 The same can be done using the static method wxFileName::DirName:
7c913512 30
23324ae1
FM
31 @code
32 wxFileName dirname = wxFileName::DirName( "C:\mydir" );
33 MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
34 @endcode
7c913512 35
23324ae1
FM
36 Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names
37 like wxFileName::IsDirReadable use
7c913512 38 wxFileName::GetPath whereas methods dealing
23324ae1
FM
39 with file names like wxFileName::IsFileReadable
40 use wxFileName::GetFullPath.
7c913512 41
23324ae1
FM
42 If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or
43 a complete file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use
44 the static function wxFileName::DirExists
45 (or its identical variants wxDir::Exists and
e54c96f1 46 wxDirExists()) and construct the wxFileName
23324ae1
FM
47 instance accordingly. This will only work if the directory actually exists,
48 of course:
7c913512 49
23324ae1
FM
50 @code
51 wxString user_input;
52 // get input from user
7c913512 53
23324ae1
FM
54 wxFileName fname;
55 if (wxDirExists(user_input))
56 fname.AssignDir( user_input );
57 else
58 fname.Assign( user_input );

262 wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows, Mac OS
263 and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries
264 to treat them all in the same generic way. It supposes that all file names
265 consist of the following parts: the volume (also known as drive under Windows
266 or device under VMS), the path which is a sequence of directory names separated
267 by the @ref getpathseparators() "path separators" and the full
268 filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the
269 extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty and,
270 for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they are all
271 empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an invalid
272 state and IsOk() returns @false for it.
23324ae1
FM
273 File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function
274 IsCaseSensitive() allows to determine this.
23324ae1
FM
275 The rules for determining whether the file name is absolute or relative also
276 depend on the file name format and the only portable way to answer this
277 question is to use IsAbsolute() or
278 IsRelative() method. Note that on Windows, "X:"
279 refers to the current working directory on drive X. Therefore, a wxFileName
7c913512 280 instance constructed from for example "X:dir/file.ext" treats the portion
23324ae1 281 beyond drive separator as being relative to that directory.
23324ae1
FM
282 To ensure that the filename is absolute, you may use
283 MakeAbsolute(). There is also an inverse
284 function MakeRelativeTo() which undoes
285 what @ref normalize() Normalize(wxPATH_NORM_DOTS) does.
