[ file->realpath ]
The [file->realPath] method is a private method that returns the full path to a file. If it is called without a parameter, it returns the full path based on the path stored in the [file] object itself. If it is called with a parameter, it returns the full path to the path referenced by the parameter.
- Syntax
define file->myMethod => {
.realPath
}
define file->myMethod => {
local(path) = ...
.realPath(#path)

Create a method to return the full path of a file
The code below creates member method [file->fileSystemPath] that returns the full path to a file. It then test the method by creating a [file] object with a web-root based path and calling the new method. The result assumes that your web-root is the standard Mac OS X path to the web-root (/Library/WebServer/Documents/).
Code
define file->fileSystemPath(path::string=.path) => {
return .realPath(#path)
}
local(my_file) = file('/rhino/test.txt')
#my_file->fileSystemPathResult
//Library/WebServer/Documents//rhino/test.txt
