splitPath

a function to split a path to its parent and name that recognizes rootdirs(including local and network paths). if a path passed in is a rootdir the parent part will be empty, and the name is just the path itself. rootdirs always contain a trailing backslash, such as C:\ or \\mycomputer\sharedfolder\.

note: this function is only suitable for windows full paths. since its main target is to work with root paths.

usage

var result = fswin.splitPath(fullPath);

• fullPath is a string that specifies the path to split
• the return value is an object that contains 2 properties: PARENT and NAME

example

var fswin = require('fswin');
var paths = ['C:\\PROGRA~1', 'C:\\program files\\Common Files', '\\\\mycomputer\\sharefolder\\somedir\\anotherdir', 'c:\\', '\\\\mycomputer\\sharefolder\\somedir', '\\\\mycomputer\\sharedfolder\\'];
var i, splittedpath;
for (i = 0; i < paths.length; i++) {
	splittedpath = fswin.splitPath(paths[i]);
	console.log(paths[i] + '" is splitted to "' + splittedpath.PARENT + '" and "' + splittedpath.NAME + '"');
}
