Copy directory recursively.
Copies a source directory to a new target directory (recursive). If the target directory already exists, files will be added. If files from the source already exist in the target, option
allows for the following behaviour:
OVERWRITE: Overwrite the file in the target directory if it already exists. SKIP: Skip the file in the target directory if it already exists. CANCEL: Cancel the copy process if file already exists in target directory - return false.
from_dir | Source directory |
to_dir | Target directory |
option | Specify the copy option (OVERWRITE, SKIP, CANCEL) |

Replaces the relative path in the argument with the absolute path.

Retrieves a list of files matching file_pattern

(returns filenames without paths unless full_path
is true)
|
static |
Looks up the location of the file filename
.
The following locations are checked in this order:
directories
FileNotFound | is thrown, if the file is not found |
Referenced by QApplicationTOPP::QApplicationTOPP(), and DigestionEnzymeDB< DigestionEnzymeRNA, RNaseDB >::readEnzymesFromFile_().
uses File::find() to search for a file names db_name
in the 'id_db_dir' param of the OpenMS system parameters
FileNotFound | is thrown, if the file is not found |
Resolves a partial file name to a documentation file in the doc-folder.
Using find() to locate the documentation file under OPENMS_DATA_PATH, OPENMS_SOURCE_PATH, OPENMS_BINARY_PATH + "/../../doc" (or a variation for MacOS packages)
Will return the String with the full path to the local documentation. If this call fails, try the web documentation (http://www.openms.de/current_doxygen/) instead.
String | The doc file name to find. |
FileNotFound | is thrown, if the file is not found |
|
static |
Searches for an executable with the given name (similar to where (Windows) or which (Linux/MacOS)
This function can be used to find the full path+filename to an executable in the PATH environment. Only the first hit (by order in PATH) is returned. If the exe_filename
has a relative or full path which points to an existing file, PATH information will not be used. The function returns true if the filename was found (exists) and false otherwise. Note: this does not require the file to have executable permission set (this is not tested) The returned content of exe_filename
is only valid if true is returned.
[in/out] | exe_filename The executable to search for. |
exe_filename
could be resolved to a full path and it exists Searches for an executable with the given name.
toolName | The executable to search for. |
FileNotFound | is thrown, if the tool executable was not found. |
Referenced by TOPPViewBase::runTOPPTool_().
|
static |
Retrieve path of current executable (useful to find other TOPP tools) The returned path is either just an EMPTY string if the call to system subroutines failed or the complete path including a trailing "/", to enable usage of this function as File::getExecutablePath() + "mytool"

Returns the OpenMS home path (environment variable overwrites the default home path)
|
static |
Extract list of directories from a concatenated string (usually $PATH).
Depending on platform, the components are split based on ":" (Linux/Mac) or ";" (Windows). All paths use the '/' as separator and end in '/'. E.g. for 'PATH=/usr/bin:/home/unicorn' the result is {"/usr/bin/", "/home/unicorn/"} or 'PATH=c:\temp;c:\Windows' the result is {"c:/temp/", "c:/Windows/"}
Note: the environment variable is passed as input to enable proper testing (env vars are usually read-only).

|
static |
get the system's default OpenMS.ini file in the users home directory (<home>/OpenMS/OpenMS.ini) or create/repair it if required order: 1. <OPENMS_HOME_DIR>/OpenMS/OpenMS.ini if environmental variable set 2. user home directory <home>/OpenMS/OpenMS.ini

The current OpenMS temporary data path (for temporary files)
Referenced by TOPPASBase::TOPPASBase(), and TOPPASBase::~TOPPASBase().
Obtain a temporary filename, ensuring automatic deletion upon exit.
The file is not actually created and only deleted at exit if it exists.
However, if 'alternative_file' is given and not empty, no temporary filename is created and 'alternative_file' is returned (and not destroyed upon exit). This is useful if you have an optional output file, which may, or may not be requested, but you need its content regardless, e.g. for intermediate plotting with R. Thus you can just call this function to get a file which can be used and gets automatically destroyed if needed.
alternative_file | If this string is not empty, no action is taken and it is used as return value |
|
static |
Returns a string, consisting of date, time, hostname, process id, and a incrementing number. This can be used for temporary files.
include_hostname | add hostname into result - potentially a long string |
Referenced by TOPPViewBase::showTOPPDialog_(), and TOPPASBase::TOPPASBase().

static |
The current OpenMS user data path (for result files) Tries to set the user directory in following order: 1. OPENMS_HOME_DIR if environmental variable set 2. "home_dir" entry in OpenMS.ini 3. user home directory

Returns the path of the file (without the file name).

|
static |
Removes the subdirectories of the specified directory (absolute path). Returns true if successful.

Returns the file name without the extension
The extension is the suffix of the string up to and including the last dot.
If no extension is found, the whole file name is returned
Referenced by TOPPViewBase::addDataFile().

static |
Rename a file.
If from
and to
point to the same file (symlinks are resolved), no action will be taken and true is returned. If the target already exists (and is not identical to the source), this function will fail unless overwrite_existing
is true.
from | Source filename |
to | Target filename |
overwrite_existing | Delete already existing target, before renaming |
verbose | Print message to OPENMS_LOG_ERROR if something goes wrong. |
|
static |
Return true if the file is writable.
