Hi Sean, 2011/11/1 Sean P. DeNigris <sean@clipperadams.com>

What's the easiest way to create a reference to, say, /dev from a string?

I came up with "FSFilesystem disk root resolveString: '/dev'." Anything better?

I guess those ones also make it: FSFilesystem disk root / 'dev' (FSPath / 'dev') asReference Cheers, #Luc

Also, what's the difference between FSReference>> resolve: resolveString: ?

They both seem to do the same thing in this case.

Thanks. Sean

The more I play with FS, which is quite awesome, the more I'm wishing for an easier way to create an FSReference. I'm particularly confused by the resolve semantics. Consider the following attempts to create an FSReference from a path string: * FSFilesystem disk root resolve: '/path/to/file.ext'. -> a valid FSReference * FSFilesystem disk resolve: '/path/to/file.ext'. -> anFSAbsolutePath * FSReference / 'path/to/file.ext' -> an invalid FSReference (self exists -> false) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Creating-a-FSReference-tp3962401p3986431.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
