First, get file name without the path: filename=$(basename — “$fullfile”) extension=”${filename##*.}” filename=”${filename%.*}” Alternatively, you can focus on the last “https://stackoverflow.com/” of the path instead of the ‘.’ which should work even if you have unpredictable file extensions: filename=”${fullfile##*/}” You may want to check the documentation : On the web at section “3.5.3 Shell Parameter Expansion” … Read more
I suggest you use Dir.entries(“target_dir”) Check the documentation here
Good news. Technically, the answer to “how do I clone files with colons in the filename” is to simply use “git clone”. Luckily it is only the checkout that fails on Windows (even under msysgit) and there is a rather clean workaround for this shown below. TL;DR in Git Bash… git clone {repo URL} cd … Read more
You can use PathGetCharType function, PathCleanupSpec function or the following trick: function IsValidFilePath(const FileName: String): Boolean; var S: String; I: Integer; begin Result := False; S := FileName; repeat I := LastDelimiter(‘\/’, S); MoveFile(nil, PChar(S)); if (GetLastError = ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS) or ( (GetFileAttributes(PChar(Copy(S, I + 1, MaxInt))) = INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES) and (GetLastError=ERROR_INVALID_NAME) ) then Exit; if I>0 … Read more
For Node applications, there is a more up-to-date answer now, which is to use the mime-types NPM package, e.g.: var mime = require(‘mime-types’), fileExtension = mime.extension(‘text/plain’);
Ned’s GetLongPathName answer doesn’t quite work (at least not for me). You need to call GetLongPathName on the return value of GetShortPathname. Using pywin32 for brevity (a ctypes solution would look similar to Ned’s): >>> win32api.GetLongPathName(win32api.GetShortPathName(‘stopservices.vbs’)) ‘StopServices.vbs’
This is part of the rules of ~-expansion. It is clearly stated in the Bash manual that this expansion is not performed when the ~ is quoted. Workaround 1 Don’t quote the ~. file=~/path/to/file If you need to quote the rest of the filename: file=~/”path with spaces/to/file” (This is perfectly legal in a garden-variety shell.) … Read more
In idiomatic Rust the return type of a function that can fail should be an Option or a Result. In general, functions should also accept slices instead of Strings and only create a new String where necessary. This reduces excessive copying and heap allocations. You can use the provided extension() method and then convert the … Read more
Read the documentation of File::basename : basename(file_name [, suffix] ) → base_name Returns the last component of the filename given in file_name, which can be formed using both File::SEPARATOR and File::ALT_SEPARETOR as the separator when File::ALT_SEPARATOR is not nil. If suffix is given and present at the end of file_name, it is removed. file = … Read more
Here is an example of each: from inspect import stack class Foo: def __init__(self): print __file__ print self.__class__.__name__ print stack()[0][3] f = Foo()
