SplitPath.Rd
Split a full path in its components. This is specifically an issue in Windows and not really interesting for other OSs.
SplitPath(path, last.is.file = NULL)
A list, containing the following components:
the normalized path as returned by normalizePath
the drive if the OS is Windows, NA
else
the path without directory and without filename
the filename including extension
the filename without extension
the file extension
if (FALSE) # Windows-specific example
path <- "C:/Documents/Projects/Import/eyestudy.dta"
