The codetools and lcl are separate and independent things (by license

Another thing related to CreateRelativePath:
RelPath:=CreateRelativePath(FileName, BasePath);
Now, when
BasePath is '/TopDir/Tests/MyProj/'
and
FileName is '/TopDir/Tests/MyProj/src/MyUnit.pas'
then
RelPath = 'src/MyUnit.pas'
which is correct.
However if the BasePath is longer (deeper)
Hi Juha,
FPC RTL comes with ExtractRelativePath. I still use my own code because
Delphi's didn't work properly either. It seems FPC's ExtractRelativePath
is much shorter than mine. If someone can confirm it works well that
would be great (no time now to test thoroughly).
I use the following

I use the following code (comes from Delphi but with some changes). The
second function is to expand a relative path.

Please do not consider submitting this to FPC or Lazarus. We do not what
the whole copyright issue again in FPC source code.

Sorry, I only realized now what CreateRelativePath() does. My sample code
simply trims a long path for visual display - that is NOT the function or
CreateRelativePath().
Sorry about the confusion.

The last unit in the uses list (which has same signature function) takes

Good. What is the recommended function for the inverse process?
Doing a quick search, I would imagine one of the following:
- ExpandFileName()
- ExpandUNCFileName()
- ExpandFileNameUTF8()
- CleanAndExpandFilename()
- ExpandUNCFileNameUTF8()

Graeme: you also missed this. None of those functions take a base path and
applies a relative path to produce a new absolute path. The function must be
able to go up some directories and then down some others.
ExpandFileName does exactly that.
Thank-you, that

No it doesn't, unless you're assuming your current directory as the base
path. ExtractRelativePath specifically takes a base path as a parameter.
Its inverse should do the same. In a GUI

No. ExpandFilename does much more and less. It corrects \ and / to
path delim, expands a relative filename with the *current working
directory* (Get/SetCurrentDir) and it expands tilde '~' to $HOME under

Hi,
On page:
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/fileutil/createrelativepath.html
Function Result section says:
The file name expressed as path relative to the current directory
It should be ... path relative to BaseDirectory
The same error is in Description section, too.
Maybe there
