Function Entry: ACET::NORMALIZE-FILENAME

Name

acet::normalize-filename

Class

BricsCAD ExpressTools API Function (acet:: namespace)

Syntax

(acet::normalize-filename fileName)

Arguments and Values

Arguments are described in the vendor page; see Source Notes.

Description

This function replaces the "\" respectively "/" characters in the fileName(string) by the path delimiter of the actual OS/Platform. As Windows accepts both path delimiters, no replacement is made under Windows; but path delimiter effectively happens on Linux and Mac. Therefore, Lisp application code can safely use this function on all platforms, the returned file name is always suitable for the running OS/Platform. Returns normalised file name as string.

Return Values

Vendor-defined; see Source Notes.
