Standard Path Operations

Comparison and queryoperations as well as making new paths relative to a base path

Relative Paths

Create new paths relative to another path
    import scalax.file.Path

    val path: Path = Path("file")

    // if path is a directory then you can use the \
    // methods to make a new path based on that directory
    val child1: Path = path \ "childFile"
    val child3: Path = path \ "dir1" \ "f3"
    val child4: Path = path \ Path("f4")
    val child5: Path = path \ Path("dir2") \ Path("f5")
    val child6: Path = path / Path("dir2", "f5")
    val child7: Path = path / "dir2" / "f5"

    // if on windows
    val child8: Path = Path("c:") / "dir2" / "f5"
    val child9: Path = Path("c:") \ "dir2" \ "f5"
    val child10: Path = Path("c:", "dir2", "f5")

    // the resolve methods is essentially an alias for \ for those
    // who are uncomfortable with operator type methods.  Also to
    // maintain a familiar feel with NIO Path
    val child11: Path = path.resolve("child")
    val child12: Path = path.resolve(Path("child", "grandchild"))

    // make a Path relative to another path
    // This should result in path "child"
    val relative: Path = path.relativize(Path("file", "child"))

    // Parent paths and root of the current path
    val parent: Option[Path] = path.parent
    val parents: List[Path] = path.parents
    val root: Option[Path] = path.root
