spectrochempy.pathclean

pathclean(paths)

Clean a path or a series of path.

The aim is to be compatible with windows and unix-based system.

Parameters

paths (str or a list of str) – Path to clean. It may contain Windows or conventional python separators.

Returns

pathlib or list of pathlib – Cleaned path(s).

Examples

>>> from spectrochempy.utils.file import pathclean

Using unix/mac way to write paths >>> filename = pathclean(‘irdata/nh4y-activation.spg’) >>> filename.suffix ‘.spg’ >>> filename.parent.name ‘irdata’

or Windows >>> filename = pathclean(“irdata\nh4y-activation.spg”) >>> filename.parent.name ‘irdata’

Due to the escape character in Unix, path string should be escaped \ or the raw-string prefix r must be used as shown below >>> filename = pathclean(r”irdatanh4y-activation.spg”) >>> filename.suffix ‘.spg’ >>> filename.parent.name ‘irdata’
