Operating system dependencies ; are taken into consideration. This routine is used by RSI to ; make the User Library portable. ; ; CATEGORY: ; File Management. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; Result = FILEPATH('filename' [, SUBDIRECTORY = subdir]) ; ; INPUTS: ; filename: The lowercase name of the file to be opened. No device ; or directory information should be included. ; ; KEYWORDS: ; ROOT_DIR: The name of the directory from which the resulting path ; should be based. If not present, the value of !DIR is used. ; This keyword is ignored if TERMINAL or TMP are specified. ; ; SUBDIRECTORY: The name of the subdirectory in which the file ; should be found. If this keyword is omitted, the main ; directory is used. This variable can be either a scalar ; string or a string array with the name of each level of ; subdirectory depth represented as an element of the array. ; ; For example, to get a path to the file DETERM in the "userlib" ; subdirectory to the IDL "lib" subdirectory, enter: ; ; path = FILEPATH("determ", SUBDIRECTORY = ["lib", "userlib"]) ; ; TERMINAL: Return the filename of the user's terminal. ; ; TMP: The file is a scratch file. Return a path to the ; proper place for temporary files under the current operating ; system. ; ; OUTPUTS: ; The fully-qualified file path is returned. If one of the subdirectory ; keywords is not specified, the file is assumed to exist in the ; main distribution directory. ; ; COMMON BLOCKS: ; None. ; ; RESTRICTIONS: ; Don't specify more than one of the keywords in a single call. ; ; ; EXAMPLE: ; To get a path to the file DETERM in the "userlib" subdirectory to the ; IDL "lib" subdirectory, enter: ; ; path = FILEPATH("determ", SUBDIRECTORY = ["lib", "userlib"]) ; ; The variable "path" contains a string that is the fully-qualified file ; path for the file DETERM. ; ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; December, 1989, AB, RSI (Formalized from original by DMS) ; October, 1990, SG, RSI (added support for MSDOS) ; February, 1991, SMR, RSI (added string array support for multi-level ; directories) ; 21 April 1993, AB, Added ROOT_DIR keyword. ;- ON_ERROR,2 ;Return to caller if an error ;occurs do_tmp = KEYWORD_SET(TMP) ;get temporary path if existing path = '' IF (KEYWORD_SET(TERMINAL)) THEN BEGIN CASE !VERSION.OS OF 'vms': RETURN,'SYS$OUTPUT:' 'windows': RETURN,'con' 'MacOS' : BEGIN PRINT, "No terminal device for the Mac" RETURN, '' END ELSE: RETURN,'/dev/tty' ENDCASE ENDIF IF (do_tmp) THEN BEGIN CASE !VERSION.OS OF 'vms': root_dir = 'SYS$LOGIN:' 'windows': root_dir = '\tmp' 'MacOS': begin root_dir = !DIR if (n_params() EQ 0) then filename = "IDL Temp File" end ELSE: root_dir = '/tmp' ENDCASE ENDIF ELSE BEGIN IF (not KEYWORD_SET(ROOT_DIR)) THEN root_dir = !DIR IF (KEYWORD_SET(SUBDIR)) THEN BEGIN ;if the SUBDIR keyword is set SUBDIR = STRLOWCASE(SUBDIR) ;then include each level in the CASE !VERSION.OS OF ;path separated by the correct 'vms': divider = "." ;directory level delimiter for 'windows': divider = "\" ;the current O.S.
