/** Return directory portion of path based on the system default file separator. Note: you should probably use pathToFile() to localize the path relative to BeanShell's working directory and then file.getAbsolutePath() to get back to a system localized string.
Example: to change to the directory that contains the script we're currently executing:
// Change to the directory containing this script path=pathToFile( getSourceFileInfo() ).getAbsolutePath(); cd( dirname( path ) );*/ bsh.help.cd = "usage: dirname( path )"; String dirname( String pathname ) { String dirName = "."; // Normalize '/' to local file separator before work. int i = pathname.replace('/', File.separatorChar ).lastIndexOf( File.separator ); if ( i != -1 ) dirName = pathname.substring(0, i); return dirName; }
