Convert Path

Convert between POSIX and Windows paths.

Usage

var convertPath = require( '@stdlib/utils/convert-path' );

convertPath( from, to )

Converts between POSIX and Windows paths.

var p = convertPath( 'C:\\foo\\bar', 'posix' );
// returns '/c/foo/bar'

The following output path conventions are supported:

• win32: Windows path convention; e.g., `C:\foo\bar'.
• mixed: mixed path convention (Windows volume convention and POSIX path separator); e.g., C:/foo/bar.
• posix: POSIX path convention; e.g., /c/foo/bar.

Notes

• A Windows extended-length path cannot be converted to either a mixed or posix path convention, as forward slashes cannot be used as path separators.
• If a POSIX path begins with /[A-Za-z]/ (e.g., /c/), the path is assumed to begin with a volume name.
• The function makes no attempt to verify that a provided path is valid.

Examples

var convertPath = require( '@stdlib/utils/convert-path' );

var p1;
var p2;

p1 = '/c/foo/bar/beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'win32' );
// returns 'c:\\foo\\bar\\beep.c'

p1 = '/c/foo/bar/beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'mixed' );
// returns 'c:/foo/bar/beep.c'

p1 = '/c/foo/bar/beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'posix' );
// returns '/c/foo/bar/beep.c'

p1 = 'C:\\\\foo\\bar\\beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'win32' );
// returns 'C:\\\\foo\\bar\\beep.c'

p1 = 'C:\\\\foo\\bar\\beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'mixed' );
// returns 'C:/foo/bar/beep.c'

p1 = 'C:\\\\foo\\bar\\beep.c';
p2 = convertPath( p1, 'posix' );
// returns '/c/foo/bar/beep.c'
