path.join

Joins two path portions together into a single path.

path.join("leading", "trailing", ...)

If trailing is an absolute path, then the leading portion is ignored, and the absolute path is returned instead (see below for examples).

Parameters​

leading is the beginning portion of the path; trailing is a portion to be merged. Multiple arguments may be specified, which will be joined in the order provided.

Return Value​

A merged path.

Availability​

Premake 4.0 or later.

Examples​

-- returns "MyWorkspace/MyProject"
p = path.join("MyWorkspace", "MyProject")

-- returns "/usr/bin", because the trailing path is absolute
p = path.join("MyWorkspace", "/usr/bin")

-- tokens are assumed to be absolute; this returns "$(ProjectDir)"
p = path.join("MyWorkspace", "$(ProjectDir)")
