user=> (reduce #(File. %1 %2) ["one" "two" ".." "three"]) #<File one\two\..\three> user=> (.getCanonicalFile (reduce #(File. %1 %2) ["one" "two" ".." "three"])) #<File C:\Windows\System32\one\three> user=> (.getPath (reduce #(File. %1 %2) ["one" "two" ".." "three"])) "one\\two\\..\\three" Of these only getCanonicalFile normalizes, but it also makes it absolute, treating it as having been relative to (on the Win32 box I tested it on) the OS system directory of all places. It *is* interesting that Ruby Pathname objects and Java File objects get printed very similarly by Ruby and Clojure, respectively. I assume that / will replace \ as the separator (and the base directory used by getCanonicalFile will vary) if the above is used on other operating systems' JVMs. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
