Well, that's why I always use a loop myself! Bear in mind that
backslashes have another meaning in Unix paths.
local function at(s,i)
return sub(s,i,i)
end
local other_sep
-- sep is the directory separator for this platform.
if is_windows then sep = '\\'; other_sep = '/' else sep = '/' end
--- given a path, return the directory part and a file part.
-- if there's no directory part, the first value will be empty
-- @param path A file path
function splitpath(path)
local i = #path
local ch = at(path,i)
while i > 0 and ch ~= sep and ch ~= other_sep do
i = i - 1
ch = at(path,i)
end
if i == 0 then
return '',path
else
return sub(path,1,i-1), sub(path,i+1)
end
end
Not the full solution, but the extension is straightforward; basically
have to check for '.' as well, and see what you end up with as you go
backwards. String patterns are not always the sensible way to do
things.
