PathString

Stop treating paths like strings in C#. Use PathStrings instead.

PathString provides the PathString object, exposing functions to make path managment and manipulation easier.

Terms

  • Step: In the path a/b/c, a, b and c are steps

Features

  • Create PathString objects from regular strings easily
  • Add and Remove steps from PathString
  • Get PathString relative to some step in th path string "a/b/c/d".RelativeTo(b) = "c/d"
  • Get DirectoryInfo and FileInfo objects from path

Quick Start

PathString p = new PathString("a/b/c/d.exe");

//p.Separator = '/', autodetected
//p.Extension = ".exe"

PathString dir = p.RemoveStep();
// dir.ToString() = "a/b/c"

PathString newFile = dir.AddStep("new.txt");
// newFile.ToString() = "a/b/c/new.txt"

newFile.CreateIfNotExistsFile(); // makes sure fiel is created

if(newFile.TryAsFileInfo(out FileInfo info)){
   // Do FileInfo Stuff
}

Dev Notes

I use this library in many projects and add features as needed. To come:

  • PathString addition operations
  • More ways to construct PathStrings for easy
  • Posibly better managment of File and Directory type paths
