[%CFEngine_function_prototype(path)%]
Description: Translate separators in path
from Unix style to the host’s
native style and returns the result.
Takes a string argument with slashes as path separators and translate these to the native format for path separators on the host. For example translatepath(“a/b/c”) would yield “a/b/c” on Unix platforms, but “a\b\c” on Windows.
[%CFEngine_function_attributes(path)%]
Example:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(translatepath.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]
Output:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(translatepath.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s, .end_src)%]
Notes: Be careful when using this function in combination with regular
expressions, since backslash is also used as escape character in
regex’s. For example, in the regex dir/.abc
, the dot represents the
regular expression “any character”, while in the regex dir\.abc
, the
backslash-dot represents a literal dot character.
