dirname
gets directory from filenames
Calling Sequence
dirs = dirname(files[, flag [,flagexpand]])
Arguments
- files
a string matrix giving a set of file names
- flag, flagexpand
boolean optional parameters (default value
%t)- files, dirs
string matrices
Description
dirname returns the directory names of the file entries given in files.
If flag is true the files are first converted to the target
type given by the getos() == 'Windows' variable.
Moreover, if flagexpand is true leading strings like
SCIHOME, SCI or ~ are expanded using environment
variables.
Note that dirname(files,%f) can give erroneous results if
pathnames given in files do not follow the convention
given by the getos() == 'Windows' variable.
Examples
dirs=dirname('SCI/modules/fileio/macros/poo.sci') dirs=dirname('SCI/modules\fileio/macros/poo.sci') dirs=dirname('SCI/modules\fileio/macros/poo.sci.k')
