METHODS

get_file

            

              
              
my $string = get_file($string);
            
          

Extracts the whole filename without the path

            

              
              
print get_file('/etc/webserver/httpd.conf');
# writes: 'httpd.conf'
            
          

get_file_extension

            

              
              
my $string = get_file_extension($string);
            
          

Extracts the extension of a filename

            

              
              
print get_filename('/etc/webserver/httpd.conf');
# writes: 'conf'
            
          

get_filename

            

              
              
my $string = get_filename($string);
            
          

Extracts the whole filename without the path

            

              
              
print get_filename('/etc/webserver/httpd.conf');
# writes: 'httpd'
            
          

Yes, it sounds very similar to get_file(), but I had no better idea to describe it without writing get_file_without_extension.

get_path

            

              
              
my $string = get_path($string);
            
          

Extracts the path of a filename.

            

              
              
print get_path('/etc/webserver/httpd.conf');
# writes: '/etc/webserver'
            
          

remove_trailing_slash

            

              
              
my $string = remove_trailing_slash($string);
            
          

Returns the path without a slash on the end. You can use it more than once, without doing something wrong to the same string.
