Split Filename

Regular expression to split a Windows filename.

Installation

$ npm install regex-filename-windows

Usage

var re = require( 'regex-filename-windows' );

re

Regular expression to split a Windows filename.

var parts = re.exec( 'C:\\foo\\bar\\index.js' );
/*
    [
        'C:\\foo\\bar\\index.js',   // input value
        'C:',                       // device
        '\\',                       // slash
        'foo\\bar\\',               // dirname
        'index.js',                 // basename
        '.js'                       // extname
    ]
*/

Notes

• When executed against dotfile filenames (e.g., .gitignore), the regular expression does not capture the basename as a filename extension.

  var parts = re.exec( '.gitignore' );
  /*
      [
          '.gitignore',
          '',
          '',
          '',
          '.gitignore',
          ''
      ]
  */
   
  parts = re.exec( '.travis.yml' );
  /*
      [
          '.travis.yml',
          '',
          '',
          '',
          '.travis.yml',
          '.yml'
      ]
  */

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
