2. How does path joining work in this case:
joinPaths C:/root/path/file.ext altPath/file2.ext2
i.e. is "file.ext" discarded?
No. You will get:
C:/root/path/file.ext/altPath/file2.ext2
Hmmm. I can't claim it's wrong, but I'm uneasy about that. It is, for example, different from the way that URI path joining works.
What do you expect to get? file.ext is a valid directory name. By the way joinPaths "c:/dir1/file.ext" "c:/dir2" == "c:/dir2" because the second path is absolute.
What about:
joinPaths C:/root/path/ altPath/file2.ext2
does this give: C:/root/path/altPath/file2.ext2 or C:/root/path//altPath/file2.ext2
?
The first one. "//" is equal to "/", isn't it? Cheers, Krasimir __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo
