For proper path sanitization, use sanitizePath(String, boolean, boolean).

Parameters
filename to escape
Returns
  • the escaped filename

public static String escapeFileName (String filename, char newChar)

Escape illegal characters in filename by the provided char. Note than this is a black-list escaper (whitelist character would be too costly to manage any char) so file name can still be irrelevant on the target Operating System.

Parameters
filename to escape
newChar replacement character
Returns

Parameters
filename to escape
newChar replacement character
Returns
  • the escaped filename

public static String escapeFileNameStrict (String filename)

Create a valid filename with an underscore for non alphanumeric char, '-', '_', '.' nor '''.

For proper path sanitization, use sanitizePath(String, boolean, boolean).

public static void extractToFolder (File inputZipFile, File outputFolder)

Returns
  • null if there is no parent folder, eg in the case of a a root folder

public static String getRelativePath (File file, File base)

Provide the path to a file relative to a base.

Parameters

public static File getSafeTempFolder ()

This method is deprecated.

Returns
  • this JEB session's temporary folder

public static File getSessionTemporaryFolder ()

Retrieve the JEB session-specific temporary folder. That folder is unique per session, and can be used to drop additional temporary files and folders. Its contents is deleted when the session ends (i.e. when the owning JEB instance is terminated).

public static File getTempFolder ()

Retrieve the temporary folder.

Returns
  • the temp folder, never null

public static boolean inFolder (File file, File folder)

  • 2: delete 'src' if 'dst' already exists
Returns
  • true on success

public static File replaceExtension (File file, String extension)

Parameters
extension the new extension, eg ".xyz"

public static String sanitizePath (String path, boolean isSinglePathElement, boolean replaceBlankCharacters)

Sanitize a path. The returned path is guaranteed to be legal on the current filesystem (FS) if and only if the element being sanitized is a single path element. For full paths elements, sanitization cannot be guaranteed because some characters which could yield to bad paths, cannot be safely sanitized.

Notes:
- the following characters are always sanitized: ? % * | < > "
- if a single path element is provided, the following characters are sanitized as well: / \ :

Parameters
path a path (absolute or not)
isSinglePathElement true if the provided path should be treated as a single path element, allowing more aggressive replacements

Returns
  • a sanitized path, never null, guaranteed to be valid on the current FS

public static String sanitizePathUnsafe (String path)

Attempt to sanitize a path.

Under some conditions, the returned path may be unsafe, eg on Windows: the sanitization of a path like "x::z" will generate an unsafe path. You must use sanitizePath(String, boolean, boolean) to guarantee sanitization.

public static String setCwd (String cwd)

Set the path of the current working directory.

Note: handle with care, changing the CWD may not impact all subsequent file read and write operations. It is safer to retrieve and use the CWD with getCwd().

Returns
  • previous working directory

public static String simplifyPath (String path)

Simplify a path. This method is OS-dependent. To call a specific (Unix or Windows) version of this method, use simplifyPathUnix(String) or simplifyPathWindows(String).

Rules:
- . and .. uses are resolved.
- Multiple-path separator uses such as /// or \\ are resolved.
- Redundant trailing separators are removed.
- The empty path is always resolved to ..

Unlike getName(), this method considers both slash and backslash to be valid path separators.

Returns
  • a two-element array: the first element contains the base and may be empty (if non-empty, it will always end by a separator); the second element is the name, which does not contain any separator
