| def root= new File('/usr/share') | |
| def full= new File('/usr/share/docs/rpm-4.4') | |
| // Print the relative path of 'full' in relation to 'root' | |
| // Notice that the full path is passed as a parameter to the root. | |
| def relPath= new File( root.toURI().relativize( full.toURI() ).toString() ) |
Thanks @akhikhl, I've corre ted it now.
Using URI is dangerous here because of the encoding (e.g. if full were /usr/share/docs with space/rpm-4.4 you end up with docs%20with%20space/rpm-4.4). You can use the Path.relativize from Java 7 to avoid this:
def relPath = root.toPath().relativize( full.toPath() ).toFile()
@jgustie - Thx for that.

It is File::toPath, not String::toPath.
