How to join strings into a path in Julia
Description
When combining file paths by concatenating strings, it’s easy to make mistakes such as omitting a slash or backslash. Using joinpath lets the function automatically join the strings as a path.
Code
julia> base_path = "C:/Users/A/B"
"C:/Users/A/B"
julia> base_path*"C"*"D"
"C:/Users/A/BCD"
julia> joinpath(base_path,"C","D")
"C:/Users/A/B\\C\\D"
Environment
- Windows 11
- Julia 1.11.3
