Parameters

inputString string containing full path to file, like in example above

std::string stira::common::StringUtils::ExtractFileNameRoot ( std::string inputString )

static

extracts the root filename for a file, so removes path and extension e.g., if a certain path to a file is "/home/UserName/Filedir/SomeFileName_XXXX.txt", this function extracts "SomeFileName_XXXX"

Parameters

inputString string containing full path to file, like in example above

std::string stira::common::StringUtils::ExtractFilePrefix	(	std::string	inputString,
		bool	useUnderscoreAsSeparator = `true`

inputString string containing a dot somewhere

Returns: the position of the first dot in the string; -1 if no dot was found

int stira::common::StringUtils::FindLastSlash ( std::string inputString )

static

finds the position of the last slash in a string that represents a path Uses macro WIN32 (sometimes it can be _WIN32, CYGWIN32, or _MSC_VER) to determine if slash (unix) or backslash (windows) is to be used.

Parameters

inputString string that represents a path, containing slashes or backslashes

Returns: the position of the last slash in the string; -1 if no dot was found
