File.FullPath

OpenTuring

File.FullPathPart of File module

Syntax   File.FullPath (pathName) : string) : string

Description   File.FullPath returns a string representing the full absolute path name in Turing format (forward slashes) of the path that is passed to the function. The path name passed in does not have to describe an existing file or directory.

Details   The full path name will be in Turing format and include the drive name (for example "d:/turing/examples/games/SpaceGame.t")

Example   This program obtains a path from the user and then outputs a full path name based on the path.

        var pathName : string
        get pathName
	put "Full path = ", File.FullPath (pathName)

Execute  

Details   Another example is available that checks whether a file and all of the directories in the path to the file exist. This program illustrates the use of File.FullPath, File.Parent, File.Exists, and Dir.Exists.

Status   Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling File.FullPath, not by calling FullPath.
