How to construct a multi-part file reference

by Johan Fabry

Hi all, I have a question about the filesystem that I could not resolve using the documentation. The problem is as follows: I have a file reference that is 2 separate strings that I need to join into one complete file ref but I donât know how because I donât know what the platformâs file separator is. For example, on a unix-like OS I get â/home/jfabryâ as one part and âtest/code/foo.txtâ as the other part, and I need to construct a FileReference to â/home/jfabry/test/code/foo.txtâ.On M$ I guess this would be 'C:\users\jfabry' and âtest\code\foo.txtâ, so I need to construct FileReference to 'C:\users\jfabry\test\code\foo.txtâ And the bingo question is: what do I do if I both strings use different kinds of separators? TIA, ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD and RyCh labs - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Hi Julien! Esteban L. wrote a chapter on it: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/PharoBookWorkInProgre… It would be great to have a Help, accessible in the HelpBrowser in Pharo.

FFI documentation

by Julien Delplanque

Hello, Let's say I would like to create a binding to ncurses library. Is there any documentation on how to do it properly? Or at least do you have any advice to do it the right way? I have no real knowledge on how the unified ffi work. So any documentation is welcome. Thanks in advance. :) Julien

Re: [Pharo-users] Securely downloading Pharo

by Marcus Denker

Hi, Yes. we should have fixed all that loong time ago. The problem is of course that âwe should have fixedâ only gets true after âI fixed itââ¦ so will block some time next week after the release to work on that. - fix https version of pharo.org. - setup ssl for all sites - provide checksum for files.

Really cool, I like this idea of different distributions providing different flavor of a development environment!
