After some looking into the paths-module, I noticed that you can convert string to Path-type like so: Path(mystring). Backwards you can convert Path-type to string like so: string(myPath). Conversion with $ doesnt work. Apparently $ is just an alias, which implementations walk behind the offical string-function. However when entering in the standard-lib the string-function is not found.
* Does this mean that the string-function is a nim-core api-function and it can not be found thru the libs search webpage? * If so, is there another way to find it? * Should there not be enough separation between names, like in this case between string as type and as function? Like for example toString for the function. Looking for string + conversion gives false positives from the string-type. I found it because because I asked (and suddenly remembered) a similar question in the past :-) <https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9615#63168> Apart from this I think Nim is a beautiful language. :-)
