Concatenates a filename to a base path using normal command line style rules.
Concatenates a filename to a base path using normal command line style rules.

Normalizes a path, removing double and single dot path steps.
This method normalizes a path to a standard format. The input may contain separators in either Unix or Windows format. The output will contain separators in the format specified.
A trailing slash will be retained.
A double slash will be merged to a single slash (but UNC names are handled).
A single dot path segment will be removed.
A double dot will cause that path segment and the one before to be removed.
If the double dot has no parent path segment to work with, null

Checks a filename to see if it matches the specified wildcard matcher allowing control over case-sensitivity.
Checks a filename to see if it matches the specified wildcard matcher allowing control over case-sensitivity.
The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a single or multiple (zero or more) wildcard characters. N.B. the sequence "*?" does not work properly at present in match strings.

true if the filename matches the wilcard string
Checks a filename to see if it matches the specified wildcard matcher using the case rules of the system.
Checks a filename to see if it matches the specified wildcard matcher using the case rules of the system.
The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a single or multiple (zero or more) wildcard characters. This is the same as often found on Dos/Unix command lines. The check is case-sensitive on Unix and case-insensitive on Windows.
wildcardMatch("c.txt", "*.txt") --> true wildcardMatch("c.txt", "*.jpg") --> false wildcardMatch("c.txt", "*.???") --> true wildcardMatch("c.txt", "*.????") --> falseN.B. the sequence "*?" does not work properly at present in match strings.

Returns the length of the filename prefix, such as C:/

.
Returns the length of the filename prefix, such as C:/
or ~/
.
This method will handle a file in either Unix or Windows format.
The prefix length includes the first slash in the full filename if applicable. Thus, it is possible that the length returned is greater than the length of the input string.
Windows: a\b\c.txt --> "" --> relative \a\b\c.txt --> "\" --> current drive absolute C:a\b\c.txt --> "C:" --> drive relative C:\a\b\c.txt --> "C:\" --> absolute \\server\a\b\c.txt --> "\\server\" --> UNC Unix: a/b/c.txt --> "" --> relative /a/b/c.txt --> "/" --> absolute ~/a/b/c.txt --> "~/" --> current user ~ --> "~/" --> current user (slash added) ~user/a/b/c.txt --> "~user/" --> named user ~user --> "~user/" --> named user (slash added)
