C# Class ClrPlus.Platform.FilesystemExtensions

This takes a string that is representative of a filename and tries to create a path that can be considered the 'canonical' path. path on drives that are mapped as remote shares are rewritten as their \\server\share\path

cleans up a path if it is a filesystem path, uri or wildcard. returns the original unmodified path if it is not.

Changes the file extension to another extension.

This makes a temporary copy of a file that we can work with.

Enumerates files in a directory, smarter than Direcotry.EnumerateFiles (ie, doesn't throw, when it can't access something)

Directories the exists and is accessible.

A front end to DirectoryEnumerateFilesSmarter that allows for wildcards in the path or serarch mask (and expands it out to a full path first.) it also constrains the path as much as possible to keep from enumerating directories that will never match files.

finds matches for a collection of filenames using FindFilesSmarter (above)

always call IsWildcardMatch with a prefix!!!!

Replaces Unix style file path separators (/) with Windows style (\).

Generates a filename on a somewhat different template.

{date} - the current date (y-m-d) {date-long} - the date in long format {time} - the current time (Hh:mm:ss) {time-long} - the current time in long fmt {ticks} - the current timestamp as tics {counter} - a running counter

Generates a filename based of a template that can contain many different values

{filename} - substitutes for the original filename, no extension {ext} original extension {folder} - original folder {subfolder} - original folder without leading / {count} - a running count of the files downloaded. {date} - the current date (y-m-d) {date-long} - the date in long format {time} - the current time (Hh:mm:ss) {time-long} - the current time in long fmt {ticks} - the current timestamp as tics

Returns the MD5 Hash of a file as an uppercase hex string

Returns the full path of a string. Short circuts the process if the string is a known full path already. (ie, the result of a preivious GetFullPath())

Gets the portion of the childPath that is a sub path of the parentPath Returns string.Empty if the childPath is not a sub path of the parent.

Tells whether a given path is a simple subpath. A simple subpath has the following characteristics: - No drive letter or colon - Does not start with a slash - Does not contain any path part sections consisting of just "." or ".." - Does not contain wildcards

Determines if the childPath is a sub path of the rootPath

Gets the name of a file minus it's extension, ie: if the file name is "test.exe", returns "test".

Translates paths starting with \??\ to regular paths.

Reads the contents of a file into a memory stream.

Gets the relative path between two paths.

This makes sure a file is writable by moving the original, copying this one back then deleting the original (or at least tryinghardtodelete the original). This allows us to modify locked files in place.

Writes the whole byte array to a filestream. (lazy!)

Writes all bytes from the contents of a memorystream to file (as a binary file).

Gets the next part. Note: Make Eric document this?
