Paths
Data Management And Parsing

These functions work on general paths.

These functions work on general paths.

A path consists of a list of elements separated by a slash, like in /element1/element2/element3. An element can either be a group or an item. Groups can contain multiple items and groups, but an item can not contain anything. So there can at most be one item, and it must be the last element. An example of how to use these functions is given in the module Database. These functions can also be used with files and folders. In this case a group corresponds to a folder and items correspond to files.
