The recent discussion got me working on it again, and it turned out there wasn't that much left to be done. So here it is, please comment: http://kyllingen.net/code/ltk/doc/path.html https://github.com/kyllingstad/ltk/blob/master/ltk/path.d Features: - Most functions work with all string types, i.e. all permutations of mutable/const/immutable(char/wchar/dchar)[]. Notable exceptions are toAbsolute() and toCanonical, because they rely on std.file.getcwd() which returns an immutable(char)[]. - Correct behaviour in corner cases that aren't covered by the current std.path. See the other thread for some examples, or take a look at the unittests for a more complete picture. - Saner naming scheme. (Still not set in stone, of course.) -Lars
Looks very good. Including doc. A real pleasure to explore :-) Jonathan: "I'd prefer dirName to directory." Agreed. (The element in question is a name, not a piece of data modelling directory.) [that's ~ all what I would criticize ;-)] Denis -- _________________ vita es estrany spir.wikidot.com
