simplifyFileName

tweeks
tweeks over 11 years ago

The SKILL filesystem API is currently in the midst of a bitter conflict between the fileNameists and the filenamers:

  • isFileName
  • makeTempFileName

 

  • get_filename
  • simplifyFilename

get_filename is also notable for being one of the few SKILL builtins that uses an underscore instead of camelCase, so it would have been written get_file_name if the programmer believed "file name" is two words.

    Tweeks: Thanks for your observation and the function naming discrepancy is noted. Perhaps SKILL can define aliases for get_filename and simplifyFilename which follow the camelCase convention. Regards, Li
