Description
MacIntosh only!
Converts Posix (using '/' as delimiter) file path to HSF (using ':' as delimiter) file path.
FUNCTION ConvertPosix2HSFPath(
PosixPath :DYNARRAY[] of CHAR;
VAR outHSFPath :DYNARRAY[] of CHAR) : BOOLEAN;
def vs.ConvertPosix2HSFPath(PosixPath):
return (BOOLEAN, outHSFPath)
Parameters
PosixPath DYNARRAY[] of CHAR The Posix path that is to be converted. outHSFPath DYNARRAY[] of CHAR Output parameter. Returns the converted path. If the function does not succeed the returned value is the passed 'PosixPath' value.
Return Value
Returns true if the conversion succeeds. False if it fails.
The resulted Posix path will be the same as the passed Posix path if the function fails.
Remarks
_c_ (2016.06.16): This doesn't fail easily (I never could see a failure) but will return gibberish upon anything but a qualified Posix path. Interestingly, passing a qualified HSF path (needing thus no conversion!) will also return gibberish:
Example:
path2convert := /Users/user/Desktop/New File.txt ConvertPosix2HSFPath(path2convert, path) --> /Users/user/Desktop/New File.txt > Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:New File.txt --> OK
path2convert := Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:New File.txt { <-- this needs no conversion! }
ConvertPosix2HSFPath(path2convert, path)
--> Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:New File.txt > :Macintosh HD/Users/user/Desktop/New File.txt
--> GIBBERISH
