Method Detail

simplifyPath

public static String simplifyPath(String pathname)

This is taken from guava Files. Returns the lexically cleaned form of the path name, usually (but not always) equivalent to the original. The following heuristics are used:

• empty string becomes .
• . stays as .
• fold out ./
• fold out ../ when possible
• collapse multiple slashes
• delete trailing slashes (unless the path is just "/")

These heuristics do not always match the behavior of the filesystem. In particular, consider the path a/../b, which simplifyPath will change to b. If a is a symlink to x, a/../b may refer to a sibling of x, rather than the sibling of a referred to by b.
