path.Split

Syntax

path.Split PATH ⟼ DirFile

path.Split splits PATH immediately following the final slash, separating it into a directory and a base component.

The returned values have the property that PATH = DIR+BASE. If there is no slash in PATH, it returns an empty directory and the base is set to PATH.

Note: On Windows, PATH is converted to slash (/) separators.
