Paths and files
===============

Remember,  always import library first.

.. code-block:: python

    import easymacro as app


Get info path
-------------

.. code-block:: python

    path = '/home/mau/myfile.ods'
    p = app.path(path)

    app.debug(p.path)
    app.debug(p.file_name)
    app.debug(p.name)
    app.debug(p.ext)
    app.debug(p.size)
    app.debug(p.url)

.. image:: _static/images/path_01.png

|

Get info like tuple

.. code-block:: python

    app.debug(p.info)

.. image:: _static/images/path_02.png

|

Or like dict

.. code-block:: python

    app.debug(p.dict)

.. image:: _static/images/path_03.png


Get home path
-------------

.. code-block:: python

    p = app.path
    app.debug(p.home)


Get document path
------------------

.. code-block:: python

    p = app.path
    app.debug(p.documents)


Get path user profile
---------------------

.. code-block:: python

    p = app.path
    app.debug(p.user_profile)


Get path user config
--------------------

.. code-block:: python

    p = app.path
    app.debug(p.user_config)


Get python executable path
--------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    p = app.path
    app.debug(p.python)


Path URL to system
------------------

.. code-block:: python

    path = 'file:///home/mau/myfile.ods'
    app.debug(app.path.to_system(path))


Path system to URL
------------------

.. code-block:: python

    path = 'file:///home/mau/myfile.ods'
    path = app.path.to_system(path)

    app.debug(app.path.to_url(path))


Get path from user config
-------------------------

Default get path documents. `See Api XPathSettings <http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/interfacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1util_1_1XPathSettings.html>`_

.. code-block:: python

    path = app.path.config()
    app.debug(path)

    path = app.path.config('UserConfig')
    app.debug(path)

.. note::

    Some paths can be more than one path separated by a semicolon, in this case, you get a `list` of paths.


Path join
---------

.. code-block:: python

    path = app.path.join('/home/mau', 'test', 'file.ods')
    app.debug(path)


Exists path
-----------

.. code-block:: python

    exists = app.path.exists('/home/mau/test/file.ods')
    app.debug(exists)


Verify if application exists
----------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    app_name = 'nosoffice'
    app.debug(app.path.exists_app(app_name))

    app_name = 'soffice'
    app.debug(app.path.exists_app(app_name))


Path is file
------------

.. code-block:: python

    path = '/home/mau/myfile.ott'
    app.msgbox(app.path.is_file(path))


Path is dir
-----------

.. code-block:: python

    path = '/home/mau'
    app.msgbox(app.path.is_dir(path))


Make temporary file
-------------------

It will be destroyed as soon as it is closed.

.. code-block:: python

    f = app.path.temp_file()
    f.write(app.NAME)
    f.close()

If used in context, It will be destroyed too.

.. code-block:: python

    with app.path.temp_file() as f:
        app.debug(f.name)
        f.write('test')


Make temporary directory
------------------------

On completion of the context or destruction of the temporary directory object, the newly created temporary directory and all its contents are removed from the filesystem.

.. code-block:: python

    with app.path.temp_dir() as d:
        app.debug(app.path.exists(d))
        app.debug(d)

    app.msgbox(data)


Save and read csv
-----------------

You can used the same way that `python csv`_

.. code-block:: python

    path = '/home/mau/data.csv'
    data = (
        (1, 'one', app.now()),

    data = app.path.from_csv(path)

    app.msgbox(data)


Delete files and directories
----------------------------

**CAUTION**: This method delete files and directories without confirmation, always ask to user first.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

    path = '/home/mau/safe_for_delete'
