Method filesystem.more.comparePaths(+ 1 overload)
Overload
Compares final paths of two existing files or directories to determine equality or relationship.
public static CPResult comparePaths(string pathA, string pathB, bool ofSymlinkA = false, bool ofSymlinkB = false)Parameters
|
pathA (string)
Full or relative path of an existing file or directory, in any format. Supports environment variables (see pathname.expand). |
|
pathB (string)
Full or relative path of an existing file or directory, in any format. Supports environment variables (see pathname.expand). |
|
ofSymlinkA (bool)
If pathA is of a symbolic link, get final path of the link, not of its target. |
|
ofSymlinkB (bool)
If pathB is of a symbolic link, get final path of the link, not of its target. |
Returns
Exceptions
|
ArgumentException
Not full path. |
Remarks
Before comparing, calls filesystem.more.getFinalPath, therefore paths can have any format.
Example: @"C:\Test\" and @"C:\A\..\Test" are equal.
Example: @"C:\Test\file.txt" and "file.txt" are equal if the file is in @"C:\Test and @"C:\Test is current directory.
Example: @"C:\Temp\file.txt" and "%TEMP%\file.txt" are equal if TEMP is an environment variable = @"C:\Temp.
