Now what is the difference between / and resolve: because this is the only difference with my code. I used path because it was the only way I could make sense. I will update the documentation :( this will be my cross. On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 8:28 PM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes this is what I want. I tried to copy (before your post and I do not recall that copy was creating the intermediate folders).

Hi Stef,
Assuming I understand what you're trying to do:
This is broken out to hopefully make it clear what the steps are:
| src srcPrefix dstPrefix dst |
src := 'a/b/c/d.pi' asFileReference. srcPrefix := 'a' asFileReference. dstPrefix := 'result' asFileReference. dst := dstPrefix resolve: (src relativeTo: srcPrefix). dst
At that point presumably you want:
src copyTo: dst.
Cheers, Alistair

Thanks alistair
What I want to know is a different of paths between two paths so that after I can reproduce the structure under another folder. Example
a/b/c/d.pi I should ''copy'' it into result folder and I should get
result/b/c/d.pi
now I compute the path
What is the path of a/b/c/d.pi in a => b/c/d.pi and I should then 'copy' to result/b/c/d.pi

Then I do not get why / is expecting a string and cannot accept a path.
Then I do not get why we have paths. Stef
Paths are intended to be internal, and not something you ever deal with directly.
I'm not sure I understand what you want to do, but maybe try replacing #/ with #resolve:, e.g.:
'/home' asFileReference resolve: 'user' asFileReference " File @ /home/user"
or:
'/home' asFileReference resolve: 'user' asFileReference path " File @ /home/user"

HI
I have the following scenario:
'/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' asFileReference / 'book.pillar'
"File @ /Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result/book.pillar"
ok it works.
I want to update the contents of a target folder only if a file is missing or too old compared to a source.
The idea is that I have a target folder and I need to know if a file located in the source tree should be copied under the target. So I compute the difference from the root of the source to the file and I want to apply this path to the target to check some file properties.
now I do not understand how I can get the following working:
'/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' asFileReference /
('/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/book.pillar' asFileReference path) relativeTo: ('/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo' asFileReference path)
