[Done]GetCurrentDirectory() - wrong constants

[Lebostein]

Returns the full path of the current directory. It will end with a directory separator ('\', #PS, #PS$ for Windows or '/', #NPS, #NPS$ otherwise)

Wrong. Whatever the system is, the path will always end with #PS$, never with #NPS$! Please remove the mention of #NPS$ here.
The directory separator is allways #PS$. #NPS$ means the "wrong" separator on your system.

Same thing on following sites:

GetUserDirectory()
GetHomeDirectory()
GetCurrentDirectory()
GetTemporaryDirectory()

I would write it in this way:

Returns the full path of the current directory. It will end with a path separator #PS, #PS$ ('\' for Windows or '/' otherwise)

Edit: "path" separator is better then "directory" separator ("PS" means "path separator" I think)

[Lebostein]

Specific OS path separator characters are available #PS, #NPS, #PS$ ('\') and #NPS$ ('/').

That is also wrong, I think (FileSystem, ExamineDirectory(), SetCurrentDirectory()).

Should be

Specific OS path separator characters are available #PS, #PS$ ('\' for Windows or '/' otherwise). With #NPS, #NPS$ the negated path separator is obtained ('/' for Windows or '\' otherwise).

Thanks for your suggestions.
But Fred should confirm, what's the intended behavior first, before I adapt the docs...

[MGD]

I'm also unclear on this, and as far as I can tell, these are not described in the documentation anywhere beyond

Code: Select all

Specific OS path separator characters are available #PS, #NPS, #PS$ ('\') and #NPS$ ('/'). 

(looks like there links have never been completed)

and the changelog:

Code: Select all

- Added: #PS, #NPS, #PS$ and #NPS$ constants (Path separator character depending of the OS)
