Golang : File path independent of Operating System
There are times a program need to determine the operating system it is running on and construct a proper file path for file I/O.
Go has the http://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/ package that will handle the cross plat form / operating system
Just use string(filepath.Separator)
through out your code will do.
Below is the an example code in Go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"runtime"
"path/filepath"
)
func main() {
detect := "This OS is " + runtime.GOOS + " type and use "+ string(filepath.Separator) + " as file separator"
fmt.Println(detect)
}
The output will be
Unix/Linux
:
This OS is linux type and use / as file separator
Windows
:
This OS is windows type and use \ as file separator
