Python has a glob module in the standard library which performs wildcard pattern matching on filenames, [28] and an fnmatch module with functions for matching strings or filtering lists based on these same wildcard patterns. [17] Guido van Rossum, author of the Python programming language, wrote and contributed a glob routine to BSD Unix in ...
To support portable programs Java uses File.separator to distinguish between / and \ separated paths. Seed7 has a different approach for the path representation. In Seed7 all paths use the Unix path convention, independent of the operating system. Under windows a mapping takes place (e.g.: The path /c/users is mapped to c:\users).
A similar phenomenon occurs for DOS/Windows paths, where the backslash is used as a path separator, requiring a doubled backslash \\ – this can then be re-escaped for a regular expression inside an escaped string, requiring \\\\ to match a single backslash.
The single slash between host and path denotes the start of the local-path part of the URI and must be present. [5] A valid file URI must therefore begin with either file:/path (no hostname), file:///path (empty hostname), or file://hostname/path. file://path (i.e. two slashes, without a hostname) is never correct, but is often used.
The Linux tee command was written by Mike Parker, Richard Stallman, and David MacKenzie. [5] The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. [6] The FreeDOS version was developed by Jim Hall and is licensed under the GPL. [7]
Used as a path name component separator in Unix-like, Windows, and Amiga systems. (For as long as the SwitChar setting is set to / , the DOS COMMAND.COM shell would consume it as a switch character, but DOS and Windows themselves always accept it as a separator on API level.)
The argument separator processing of xargs is not the only problem with using the xargs program in its default mode. Most Unix tools which are often used to manipulate filenames (for example sed, basename, sort, etc.) are text processing tools. However, Unix path names are not really text. Consider a path name /aaa/bbb/ccc.
For example, Windows Vista users must manually indicate when creating a symbolic link whether it is a file or a directory. [17] Windows 7 and Vista support a maximum of 31 reparse points (and therefore symbolic links) for a given path (i.e. any given path can have at most 31 indirections before Windows gives up). [18]
