Find common prefix of two or more (normalised) file paths
Find common prefix of two or more (normalised) file paths
common_path(paths, normalise = FALSE, fsep = .Platform$file.sep)
paths |
Character vector of file paths |
normalise |
Whether to normalise |
fsep |
Optional path separator (defaults to |
Note that for absolute paths, the common prefix will be returned
e.g. common_path(c("/a","/b")) is "/"
Note that normalizePath 1) operates according to the
conventions of the current runtime platform 2) is called with
winslash=.Platform$file.sep which means that normalised paths will
eventually end up separated by "\" by default on Windows rather than by
"//", which is normalizePath's standard behaviour.
Character vector of common prefix, "" when there is no common
prefix, or the original value of paths when fewer than 2 paths were
supplied.
