Path (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.core.runtime.Path

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, IPath
```
public class Path
extends Object
implements IPath, Cloneable
```
The standard implementation of the IPath interface. Paths are always maintained in canonicalized form. That is, parent references (i.e., ../../) and duplicate separators are resolved. For example,
```
     new Path("/a/b").append("../foo/bar")
```
will yield the path
```
     /a/foo/bar
```
This class can be used without OSGi running.
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients but may be instantiated.

```
public boolean isPrefixOf(IPath anotherPath)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns whether this path is a prefix of the given path. To be a prefix, this path's segments must appear in the argument path in the same order, and their device ids must match.

    If the count is zero, this path is returned. This is the only case where the returned path can be absolute. Use IPath.makeRelative() if necessary.
    If the count is greater than zero, the resulting path will always be a relative path.
    If the count equals or exceeds the number of segments in this path, an empty relative path is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeFirstSegments in interface IPath
    
    Parameters:
    
    count - the number of segments to remove
    
    Returns:
    
    the new path
  - removeLastSegments
```
public IPath removeLastSegments(int count)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a copy of this path with the given number of segments removed from the end. The device id is preserved. The number must be greater or equal zero. If the count is zero, this path is returned.
    If this path has a trailing separator, it will still have a trailing separator after the last segments are removed (assuming there are some segments left). If there is no trailing separator, the result will not have a trailing separator. If the number equals or exceeds the number of segments in this path, a path with no segments is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeLastSegments in interface IPath
    
    Parameters:
    
    count - the number of segments to remove
    
    Returns:
    
    the new path
  - removeTrailingSeparator
```
public IPath removeTrailingSeparator()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a path with the same segments as this path but with a trailing separator removed. Does nothing if this path does not have at least one segment. The device id is preserved.
    If this path does not have a trailing separator, this path is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeTrailingSeparator in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    the new path

    IPath.addTrailingSeparator(), IPath.hasTrailingSeparator()
  - segment
```
public String segment(int index)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns the specified segment of this path, or null if the path does not have such a segment.
    
    Specified by:
    
    segment in interface IPath
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the 0-based segment index
    
    Returns:
    
    the specified segment, or null
  - segmentCount
```
public int segmentCount()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns the number of segments in this path.
    Note that both root and empty paths have 0 segments.
    
    Specified by:
    
    segmentCount in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of segments
  - segments
```
public String[] segments()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns the segments in this path in order.
    
    Specified by:
    
    segments in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of string segments
  - setDevice
```
public IPath setDevice(String value)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a new path which is the same as this path but with the given device id. The device id must end with a ":". A device independent path is obtained by passing null.
    For example, "C:" and "Server/Volume:" are typical device ids.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDevice in interface IPath
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the device id or null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new path
    
    See Also:
    
    IPath.getDevice()
  - toFile
```
public File toFile()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a java.io.File corresponding to this path.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toFile in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    the file corresponding to this path
  - toOSString
```
public String toOSString()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a string representation of this path which uses the platform-dependent path separator defined by java.io.File. This method is like toString() except that the latter always uses the same separator (/) regardless of platform.
    This string is suitable for passing to java.io.File(String).
    
    Specified by:
    
    toOSString in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    a platform-dependent string representation of this path
  - toPortableString
```
public String toPortableString()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a platform-neutral string representation of this path. The format is not specified, except that the resulting string can be passed back to the Path#fromPortableString(String) constructor to produce the exact same path on any platform.
    This string is suitable for passing to Path#fromPortableString(String).
    
    Specified by:
    
    toPortableString in interface IPath
    
    Returns:
    
    a platform-neutral string representation of this path
    
    See Also:
    
    fromPortableString(String)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    Returns a string representation of this path, including its device id. The same separator, "/", is used on all platforms.
    Example result strings (without and with device id):
```
 "/foo/bar.txt"
 "bar.txt"
 "/foo/"
 "foo/"
 ""
 "/"
 "C:/foo/bar.txt"
 "C:bar.txt"
 "C:/foo/"
 "C:foo/"
 "C:"
 "C:/"
 
```
    This string is suitable for passing to Path(String).
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface IPath
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this path

    Path
  - uptoSegment
```
public IPath uptoSegment(int count)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPath
    
    Returns a copy of this path truncated after the given number of segments. The number must not be negative. The device id is preserved.
    If this path has a trailing separator, the result will too (assuming there are some segments left). If there is no trailing separator, the result will not have a trailing separator. Copying up to segment zero simply means making an copy with no path segments.
    
    Specified by:
    
    uptoSegment in interface IPath
    
    Parameters:
    
    count - the segment number at which to truncate the path
    
    Returns:
    
    the new path
