This class serves two purposes: first, it provides the functions to split the file names into components and to recombine these components in the full file name which can then be passed to the OS file functions (and @ref group_funcmacro_file "wxWidgets functions" wrapping them). Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that to change the file data you should use wxFile class instead. wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes. When working with directory names (i.e. without filename and extension) make sure not to misuse the file name part of this class with the last directory. Instead initialize the wxFileName instance like this: @code wxFileName dirname( "C:\mydir", "" ); MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() ); @endcode The same can be done using the static method wxFileName::DirName(): @code wxFileName dirname = wxFileName::DirName( "C:\mydir" ); MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() ); @endcode Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names like wxFileName::IsDirReadable() use wxFileName::GetPath() whereas methods dealing with file names like wxFileName::IsFileReadable() use wxFileName::GetFullPath(). If it is not known whether a string contains a directory name or a complete file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use the static function wxFileName::DirExists() (or its identical variants wxDir::Exists() and wxDirExists()) and construct the wxFileName instance accordingly. This will only work if the directory actually exists, of course: @code wxString user_input; // get input from user wxFileName fname; if (wxDirExists(user_input)) fname.AssignDir( user_input ); else fname.Assign( user_input ); @endcode Please note that many wxFileName methods accept the path format argument which is by @c wxPATH_NATIVE by default meaning to use the path format native for the current platform. The path format affects the operation of wxFileName functions in several ways: first and foremost, it defines the path separator character to use, but it also affects other things such as whether the path has the drive part or not. See wxPathFormat for more info. @section filename_format File name format wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows, Mac OS and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries to treat them all in the same generic way. It supposes that all file names consist of the following parts: the volume (also known as drive under Windows or device under VMS), the path which is a sequence of directory names separated by the path separators and the full filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty and, for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they are all empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an invalid state and wxFileName::IsOk() returns false for it. File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function wxFileName::IsCaseSensitive() allows determining this. The rules for determining whether the file name is absolute or relative also depend on the file name format and the only portable way to answer this question is to use wxFileName::IsAbsolute() or wxFileName::IsRelative() method. Note that on Windows,"X:" refers to the current working directory on drive X. Therefore, a wxFileName instance constructed from for example "X:dir/file.ext" treats the portion beyond drive separator as being relative to that directory. To ensure that the filename is absolute, you may use wxFileName::MakeAbsolute(). There is also an inverse function wxFileName::MakeRelativeTo() which undoes what wxFileName::Normalize(wxPATH_NORM_DOTS) does. Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this class are wxFileName::GetVolumeSeparator(), wxFileName::IsPathSeparator(). @section filename_construction File name construction You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions: @li wxFileName::wxFileName() @li wxFileName::Assign() @li wxFileName::AssignCwd() @li wxFileName::AssignDir() @li wxFileName::AssignHomeDir() @li wxFileName::AssignTempFileName() @li wxFileName::DirName() @li wxFileName::FileName() @li wxFileName::operator=() @section filename_tests File name tests Before doing other tests, you should use wxFileName::IsOk() to verify that the filename is well defined. If it is, FileExists() can be used to test whether a file with such name exists and wxFileName::DirExists() can be used to test for directory existence. File names should be compared using the wxFileName::SameAs() method or wxFileName::operator==(). For testing basic access modes, you can use: @li wxFileName::IsDirWritable() @li wxFileName::IsDirReadable() @li wxFileName::IsFileWritable() @li wxFileName::IsFileReadable() @li wxFileName::IsFileExecutable() @section filename_components File name components These functions allow to examine and modify the individual directories of the path: @li wxFileName::AppendDir() @li wxFileName::InsertDir() @li wxFileName::GetDirCount() @li wxFileName::PrependDir() @li wxFileName::RemoveDir() @li wxFileName::RemoveLastDir() To change the components of the file name individually you can use the following functions: @li wxFileName::GetExt() @li wxFileName::GetName() @li wxFileName::GetVolume() @li wxFileName::HasExt() @li wxFileName::HasName() @li wxFileName::HasVolume() @li wxFileName::SetExt() @li wxFileName::ClearExt() @li wxFileName::SetEmptyExt() @li wxFileName::SetName() @li wxFileName::SetVolume() You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions: @section filename_operations File name operations These methods allow to work with the file creation, access and modification times. Note that not all filesystems under all platforms implement these times in the same way. For example, the access time under Windows has a resolution of one day (so it is really the access date and not time). The access time may be updated when the file is executed or not depending on the platform. @li wxFileName::GetModificationTime() @li wxFileName::GetTimes() @li wxFileName::SetTimes() @li wxFileName::Touch() Other file system operations functions are: @li wxFileName::Mkdir() @li wxFileName::Rmdir() @library{wxbase} @category{file} */ class wxFileName { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxFileName(); /** Copy constructor. */ wxFileName(const wxFileName& filename); /** Constructor taking a full filename.
