54 @class wxFileName
55
56 wxFileName encapsulates a file name.
57
58 This class serves two purposes: first, it provides the functions to split the
59 file names into components and to recombine these components in the full file
60 name which can then be passed to the OS file functions
61 (and @ref group_funcmacro_file "wxWidgets functions" wrapping them).
62 Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that
63 to change the file data you should use wxFile class instead.
64 wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes.
65
66 When working with directory names (i.e. without filename and extension)
67 make sure not to misuse the file name part of this class with the last
68 directory. Instead initialize the wxFileName instance like this:
69
70 @code
71 wxFileName dirname( "C:\mydir", "" );
72 MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
73 @endcode
74
75 The same can be done using the static method wxFileName::DirName():
76
77 @code
78 wxFileName dirname = wxFileName::DirName( "C:\mydir" );
79 MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
80 @endcode
81
82 Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names like
83 wxFileName::IsDirReadable() use wxFileName::GetPath() whereas methods dealing
84 with file names like wxFileName::IsFileReadable() use wxFileName::GetFullPath().
85
86 If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or a complete
87 file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use the static
88 function wxFileName::DirExists() (or its identical variants wxDir::Exists() and
89 wxDirExists()) and construct the wxFileName instance accordingly.
90 This will only work if the directory actually exists, of course:
91
92 @code
93 wxString user_input;
94 // get input from user
95
96 wxFileName fname;
97 if (wxDirExists(user_input))
98 fname.AssignDir( user_input );
99 else
100 fname.Assign( user_input );
101 @endcode
102
103 Please note that many wxFileName methods accept the path format argument
104 which is by @c wxPATH_NATIVE by default meaning to use the path format
105 native for the current platform.
106 The path format affects the operation of wxFileName functions in several ways:
107 first and foremost, it defines the path separator character to use, but it
108 also affects other things such as whether the path has the drive part or not.
109 See wxPathFormat for more info.
110
111
112 @section filename_format File name format
113
114 wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows,
115 Mac OS and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different,
116 wxFileName tries to treat them all in the same generic way.
117 It supposes that all file names consist of the following parts: the volume
118 (also known as drive under Windows or device under VMS), the path which is
119 a sequence of directory names separated by the path separators and the full
120 filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the
121 extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty
122 and, for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they
123 are all empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an
124 invalid state and wxFileName::IsOk() returns false for it.
125
126 File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function wxFileName::IsCaseSensitive()
127 allows to determine this. The rules for determining whether the file name is
128 absolute or relative also depend on the file name format and the only portable way
129 to answer this question is to use wxFileName::IsAbsolute() or wxFileName::IsRelative()
130 method.
131
132 Note that on Windows,"X:" refers to the current working directory on drive X.
133 Therefore, a wxFileName instance constructed from for example "X:dir/file.ext"
134 treats the portion beyond drive separator as being relative to that directory.
135 To ensure that the filename is absolute, you may use wxFileName::MakeAbsolute().
136 There is also an inverse function wxFileName::MakeRelativeTo() which undoes
137 what wxFileName::Normalize(wxPATH_NORM_DOTS) does.
138 Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this
139 class are wxFileName::GetVolumeSeparator(), wxFileName::IsPathSeparator().
140
141
142 @section filename_construction File name construction
143
144 You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions:
145
146 @li wxFileName::wxFileName()
147 @li wxFileName::Assign()
148 @li wxFileName::AssignCwd()
149 @li wxFileName::AssignDir()
150 @li wxFileName::AssignHomeDir()
151 @li wxFileName::AssignTempFileName()
152 @li wxFileName::DirName()
153 @li wxFileName::FileName()
154 @li wxFileName::operator=()
155
156
157 @section filename_tests File name tests
158
159 Before doing other tests, you should use wxFileName::IsOk() to verify that
160 the filename is well defined. If it is, FileExists() can be used to test whether
161 a file with such name exists and wxFileName::DirExists() can be used to test
162 for directory existence.
163 File names should be compared using the wxFileName::SameAs() method or
164 wxFileName::operator==(). For testing basic access modes, you can use:
165
166 @li wxFileName::IsDirWritable()
167 @li wxFileName::IsDirReadable()
168 @li wxFileName::IsFileWritable()
169 @li wxFileName::IsFileReadable()
170 @li wxFileName::IsFileExecutable()
171
172
173 @section filename_components File name components
174
175 These functions allow to examine and modify the individual directories
176 of the path:
177
178 @li wxFileName::AppendDir()
179 @li wxFileName::InsertDir()
180 @li wxFileName::GetDirCount()
181 @li wxFileName::PrependDir()
182 @li wxFileName::RemoveDir()
183 @li wxFileName::RemoveLastDir()
184
185 To change the components of the file name individually you can use the
186 following functions:
187
188 @li wxFileName::GetExt()
189 @li wxFileName::GetName()
190 @li wxFileName::GetVolume()
191 @li wxFileName::HasExt()
192 @li wxFileName::HasName()
193 @li wxFileName::HasVolume()
194 @li wxFileName::SetExt()
195 @li wxFileName::ClearExt()
196 @li wxFileName::SetEmptyExt()
197 @li wxFileName::SetName()
198 @li wxFileName::SetVolume()
199
200 You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions:
201
202
203 @section filename_operations File name operations
204
205 These methods allow to work with the file creation, access and modification
206 times. Note that not all filesystems under all platforms implement these times
207 in the same way. For example, the access time under Windows has a resolution of
208 one day (so it is really the access date and not time). The access time may be
209 updated when the file is executed or not depending on the platform.
210
211 @li wxFileName::GetModificationTime()
212 @li wxFileName::GetTimes()
213 @li wxFileName::SetTimes()
214 @li wxFileName::Touch()
215
216 Other file system operations functions are:
217
218 @li wxFileName::Mkdir()
219 @li wxFileName::Rmdir()
220
221
222 @library{wxbase}
