pathtrim is a simple, yet powerful Rust library that helps you obtain the last n parts of a filesystem path. It provides a seamless way to work with paths in a cross-platform manner, making it a great choice for projects that need to run on different systems like Unix, macOS, and Windows.
With pathtrim, you get a clean and intuitive API for handling path trimming, out-of-the-box support for different platforms, and the confidence that comes with strong safety guarantees, thanks to the use of Rust's features and ecosystem.
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
pathtrim = "0.2.0"
And then import the trait in the file where you want to use it:
rust
use std::path::Path;
use pathtrim::TrimmablePath;
```rust use std::path::Path; use pathtrim::TrimmablePath;
let path = Path::new("/usr/local/bin/application"); let trimmed = path.trimtonth(2).unwrap(); asserteq!(trimmed.tostr().unwrap(), "bin/application"); ```
Unix:
rust
use std::path::Path;
use pathtrim::TrimmablePath;
let path = Path::new("/usr/local/bin/application");
let trimmed = path.trim_to_nth(3).unwrap();
assert_eq!(trimmed.to_str().unwrap(), "local/bin/application");
Windows:
rust
use std::path::Path;
use pathtrim::TrimmablePath;
let path = Path::new(r"C:\Program Files\package\bin\application");
let trimmed = path.trim_to_nth(2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(trimmed.to_str().unwrap(), r"bin\application");
rust
use std::path::Path;
use pathtrim::TrimmablePath;
let path = Path::new("/");
let trimmed = path.trim_to_nth(1);
assert!(trimmed.is_none());
