getRelativePath {R.utils}R Documentation

Gets the relative pathname relative to a directory

Description

Gets the relative pathname relative to a directory.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
getRelativePath(pathname, relativeTo=getwd(), caseSensitive=NULL, ...)

Arguments

pathname A character string of the pathname to be converted into an absolute pathname.
relativeTo A character string of the reference pathname.
caseSensitive If TRUE, the comparison is case sensitive, otherwise not. If NULL, it is decided from the relative path.
... Not used.

Value

Returns a character string of the relative pathname.

Non-case sensitive comparison

If caseSensitive == NULL, the relative path is used to decide if the comparison should be done in a case-sensitive mode or not. The current check is if it is a Windows path or not, that is, if the relative path starts with a device letter, then the comparison is non-case sensitive.
