What does the /private prefix on an iOS file path indicate?

September 12, 2023 by Tarik

I tried this from the debugger and discovered that URLByResolvingSymlinksInPath “fixes” the /private/ addition. (lldb) p (NSURL *)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@”/private/var” isDirectory:YES] (NSURL *) $1 = 0x1fd9fc20 @”file://localhost/private/var/” (lldb) po [$1 URLByResolvingSymlinksInPath] $2 = 0x1fda0190 file://localhost/var/ (lldb) p (NSURL *)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@”/var” isDirectory:YES] (NSURL *) $7 = 0x1fd9fee0 @”file://localhost/var/” (lldb) po [$7 URLByResolvingSymlinksInPath] $8 = 0x1fda2f50 file://localhost/var/ as … Read more

How to check text file exists and is not empty in python

September 9, 2023 by Tarik

To check whether file is present and is not empty, you need to call the combination of os.path.exists and os.path.getsize with the “and” condition. For example: import os my_path = “/path/to/file” if os.path.exists(my_path) and os.path.getsize(my_path) > 0: # Non empty file exists # … your code … else: # … your code for else case … Read more

How can I get the last folder from a path string?

September 8, 2023 by Tarik

You can do: string dirName = new DirectoryInfo(@”C:\Users\me\Projects\myProject\”).Name; Or use Path.GetFileName like (with a bit of hack): string dirName2 = Path.GetFileName( @”C:\Users\me\Projects\myProject”.TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)); Path.GetFileName returns the file name from the path, if the path is terminating with \ then it would return an empty string, that is why I have used TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)

Moving files from one folder to another C#

Your slashes are in the wrong direction. On windows you should use back slashes. E.g. string rootFolderPath = @”F:\model_RCCMREC\”; string destinationPath = @”F:\model_RCCMrecTransfered\”;

Remove file extension and path from a string in Perl

August 28, 2023 by Tarik

For portably getting the basename of a file given a full path, I’d recommend the File::Basename module, which is part of the core. To do heuristics on file extensions I’d go for a regular expression like (my $without_extension = $basename) =~ s/\.[^.]+$//;

How can I obtain the case-sensitive path on Windows?

August 17, 2023 by Tarik

You can use this function: [DllImport(“kernel32.dll”, SetLastError=true, CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] static extern uint GetLongPathName(string ShortPath, StringBuilder sb, int buffer); [DllImport(“kernel32.dll”)] static extern uint GetShortPathName(string longpath, StringBuilder sb, int buffer); protected static string GetWindowsPhysicalPath(string path) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(255); // names with long extension can cause the short name to be actually larger than // the … Read more

What’s the difference between path & path.filepath packages in Go

August 16, 2023 by Tarik

What is the difference? While functionally similar, path and path/filepath offer differing implementations. Filepath depends on the os package to choose the target runtime’s file separators and other differing components when dealing with path strings. You can look as the os source to see that there are differing implementations for various utility functions. This allows … Read more

Map the physical file path in asp.net mvc

July 29, 2023 by Tarik

string filePath = Server.MapPath(Url.Content(“~/Content/Xsl/”)); I disagree with the idea that HttpContext.Current is “evil.” It’s not the hammer for every problem, but it is certainly better than, e.g., Session for stuff that it can do OK.
