◆ file_exists()

bool file_exists ( const String & filename )

Checks if the given file exists.

Parameters

filename File to check.

Returns: Error code (true = file exists, false = file doesn't exist)

◆ filename_ascii()

void filename_ascii	(	String &	filename,
		const String &	varname
	)

Gives the default file name for the ASCII formats.

The default name is only used if the file name is empty.

Parameters

filename	Output: file name
varname	variable name

◆ filename_bin()

void filename_bin	(	String &	filename,
		const String &	varname
	)

◆ find_file()

bool find_file	(	ArrayOfString &	matches,
		const String &	filename,
		const ArrayOfString &	paths,
		const ArrayOfString &	extensions
	)

Searches through paths for a file with a matching name.

If the filename starts with '/', the search path is ignored.

Parameters

[in,out]	matches	Matching files are appended to this list.
[in]	filename	File to find.
[in]	paths	List of paths to look in for the file.
[in]	extensions	List of extensions to add to base filename.

Returns: Error code (true = file found, false = file not found)

◆ find_xml_file()

void find_xml_file	(	String &	filename,
		const Verbosity &	verbosity
	)

Find an xml file.

If it doesn't exist in the current directory, also search the include and data path. Also tests if a compressed version exists.

The filename will be modified to contain the full path to the found match.

Parameters

[in,out]	filename	File to check.
[in]	verbosity	Verbosity

Exceptions

runtime_error if file is not found.

◆ get_dirname()

void get_dirname	(	String &	dirname,
		const String &	path
	)

Return the parent directory of a path.

Extracts the parent directory part of the given path.

Parameters

[out]	dirname	Parent directory of path
[in]	path	Path

Make filename unique.

Checks if a file (or a gzipped version of it) with the given name already exists und appends a unique number to the filename if necessary

Parameters

[in,out]	filename	Filename
[in]	extension	Optional, number is inserted before the extension
