Given a file with the following path: c:\directory\base.ext What terminology (and/or variable naming convention) do you use to refer to the following:
- just the base part of a file name (no directory or extension), eg. base - just the file name (base and extension), eg. base.ext - just the path to the file name, eg. c:\directory\ - the full path to the file including the file name, eg. c:\directory\base.ext I'm working on a project where everyone has a different view of what's included (or not included) when they use the term "file name". I'm trying to find a useful set of terms that we can all agree on so we can be consistent in what we're talking about. Wondering what terms you use ... or do you use library functions like fullpath, justext, etc. to explictly determine what you're looking for (that works in programs, but it doesn't work in conversations).
